pellet containers

[bearingman07936]

Does anyone have a good source (or website) for pellet storage containers? We are looking for something that looks like an antique - not new. I'd like to know how you all store your pellets? We are planning on storing our bags in the garage, but have room in the LR for two containers on either side of the new Harman stove. I remember seeing some bins in the stove store, but they looked too new for our house.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Look for copper (wash) boilers, we use one for kindling. They make very nice containers and often come with a lid. If you want a shiny one, Lehmans and others have new replicas.

They show up on eBay all the time:

Thank you. That's exactly the sort of thing we were looking for!
No, we don't want shiny.

Great, we really like ours. Be patient and you'll get a good deal. Or check your local flea markets and antique stores (though the latter will charge more).
