This wording could mean different things
Tired of pellet spills ... and dealing with an ugly bag?

Seems a little pricey for a plastic bucket with a cutter in the bottom. I do like the concept, though.

Well I can get a plastic bucket and drive a few nails into the bottom for a nice redneck pellet bucket for $10 bucks!

Yes way to costly for a pellet pail. I use a coal bucket that I bought for $20. It is made of heavy sheet metal and holds about 20lbs.. I keep a pair of scissors in the garage to open the bags.

I use a razor blade knife, Just a quick slice is all you need!

Hello

If you have to lift a 40lb bag then it is not as easy!

Here is my Invention. See http://library.thinkquest.org/27948/pulley.html

The "Wood Pellet Pulley" system

Just clip it onto the bag and pull the rope or a more expensive motorized unit, just press the button.

Then move the bag over the stove using the overhead track or on a close line type line.

Then slit open the bottom right over the open hopper

See pic below!

Now serving "Stove Chow" - Hoist away!!

Yea but...

You still have to bring the bag into the house, if you're keeping the Pelletpail next to the stove. OTOH, if the pail is next to your pellet supply, then you have to carry it to your stove. One way or the other, you're carrying 40 pounds!

Hey, did you notice the enormous dust cloud when she dumped the bag? I wonder if hubby gets the dusting chores in their house? (Seeing how she's the one carrying in the bags of pellets)?!

On another note, IMO all the genuine maple handles and gold trim in the world doesn't make up for the fact that the Pelletpail is made out of PLASTIC!

Yabbut - it won't rust! :lol: :lol:

And if the pellets do catch fire, it will make a smokey mess...

I think I'll just buy a nice metal pail and bolt a spike to the bottom.

That stupid pail has been around for years.

That stupid pail has been around for years.

And it's been WAY overpriced for years too. :ahhh:

Seen that bucket awhile ago at Forum member kinsman stoves shop. Neat idea. But to costly. Agreed.

Using 2 Coal/Hod Pails works just as well. Wont open the bag for you. Each bucket holds 20 lbs, 1 bag for 2 buckets (I only use these for Looks only). My Wife used them a couple times when I couldn't make it home to feed the stove (She was Pregnant last season. Cant lift too much)

The day I can lift a bag of pellets and slit it with my knife, I'll stop burning pellets. Anyhow, that photo looks like she is pooping out pellets and that there made me gigglet
