How hard is it to raise the lid with all the weight up top?
Well it's pretty heavy. I'm fairly strong and I can barely lift it with one hand. Once it is open 8 or 10 inches it is much easier as the top weight of the Irish coffin begins to lift the lid for me. I'm putting a chain on it to keep it from opening too far because of this. The plus here is that I don't need the lid prop that I thought I would need.
Well that keg disappeared fast!
