They come out fine out the coal chute...may have to work it some to get a good flow started but usually pretty good. Please note: do not let your floor be wet when you load otherwise it will lock up like concrete...NO FUN. Something I do when I can...everyplace is different. Sometimes I open the big door and let fall off what's right against the gate....much easier to get a good flow started when nothing is packed against the door. Then lock your gate back up to use the coal chute. Just have to make sure you don't make a big mess or be ok will sweeping up some. But that little move will make it easier to start a good flow out the coal chute. Good luck.
