Kingsford bags

[Michael G. (Canada Mike)]

Well, I'm back from traveling, and not surprised to see this thread still going,

I've tried, over many years fooling around with the little string, but could find no rhyne nor reason. To me it's sort of a lottery: fun but I don't expect to win.

Cheers,
Michael

Well, I had to open another bag this weekend so I took some photos of the process I've been using to "zip" the top off. You can find them here

went to Lowes tonight and was able to open 10 bags easily. Tomorrow, I'm going back to buy their "damaged" bags.

Thanks for sharing,

Hey Bill, thanks for the 'how to' on that. Now I'll be able to rip a good one.

Rule #1

Position the bag with the knotty side on your right and start from this end. The left side will be one thread.

If the string is still loose you can start by backing out the loop. If not just snip it close to the bag, back out the loop and pull both strings. Just gives you a feeling of satisfaction.. Zappppp.

Have fun !!!

Chris,
I thought that the "tool" I used to make the page did that, but I guess not. Whe I get to work in the AM I will resize them for the web myself. Thanks for the input, now off to Wally World for some more Charcoal.

It's fixed now.
