48 Pounds of stoker coal . We pack sturdy bags sewn shut that will not tear. I pack every bag. The bags are then packed in boxes. We have over 20 tons ready to be sent to you. We ship the Best way which for us is usually UPS. We have sold coal on EBAY for many years and know you will be happy with our product. I use it myself. We have changed to a 24# bag times 2 to get under 50# for UPS rates to be better.
