marty, another thought because umidity in the coal…we have the same situation with winter umidity (Charcoal from twigs...simple, quick and effective without smoke - #5 by giorgio)
this containers (white plastic) can help for hermetic storage, if available…
this is the design how i like to build my updraft gasifier for the chain tractor…instead making the gas outlet on top i have the possibility with this design to bring the gas outlet with different pipe lenght near possible to the reduction area…so i guess not much umidity goes in the system but collects under the hopper lid, instead when gas outlet is on top of the hopper, all vapour is sucked in the system…
only the gas comes out more hot and needs probably some cooler…
your cruncher is very smart…has it got some modifications yet?
