Not once have I ever had a “brick”. I load them in through the door of my furnace on my pastorale fork real quick before the bag ignites and I just drop it into the center of the pot. It naturally flattens out into a nice mound.
I store my batch in my blowing room where the climate is nice and warm and dry. I think Ed keeps his batch in another side of his barn which might be a little “dank”. I really love his studio
