These are the ones used for indoor wood burning pellet stoves. The advantage is that you have a known weight, the cost is low ($5), and the bag is slightly larger for the same weight, making it easier to handle. A tip for both this bag and real sandbags: cover them *loosely* with duct tape all over for a more durable bag. Nothing will leak, and it'll last for a long time.
