Up here in NY we have a dollar store "everything's a dollar" next to the chinese restaurant and they sell used apple, coffee burlap bags that have the tops cut open. They are half as big as me and would work good for picking apples and stuff, but I cut them into strips for my smoker. The top and bottoms are sewn and someone cuts the tops with a knife or something instead of untieing so they sell them at the dollar store. Amazing! :-D
