Well, if you kept them dry, they would keep just about indefinitely.


Dougwalkabout is right about keeping the charcoal dry. The big danger is that if it gets damp/wet, it has been known to spontaneously combust. Don't think that is a good thing. Aside from the cost, an unintended fire could be a killer too.

Coal is safer.
