For any of you who have not seen this check out the Pellet Pail. I've been using mine for more than a year now and love it. Just drop the bag in and lift it out. Comes with a scoop. Holds a full 40 pounds and works like a charm. It’s expensive but it’s built like a tank, looks great next to the hearth, and works as advertised. Over four tons opened and I have no regrets. There are few products these days are built this sturdy. There are plenty of cheap alternatives but I think this thing is worth the expense.
