Probably a lame question but I am trying to figure out what to use to load my new pellet stove's hopper with pellets. I saw the "pellet pail" at my local hearth shop but at $90 didn't think it was worth it. I also see a few of you use coal hods but how much does that hold? half a bag? Or I suppose I could just cut the bag and carefully dump it right in. But when the stove is running I don't like the idea of the plastic bag possibly touching the hot stove.
What do you all use/recommend? just curious.
