Best Pellet storage container

[HarleyTodd]

Hi all,

New to the pellet smoker world and LOVE my PitBoss Pro 1600. Quick question though around pellet storage. I've seen some posts where people say to first sift the pellets before storing. Is there a storage container that anyones aware of that has a sifter built into it?

I bought buckets off Amazon that have lids that thread on and have gaskets to keep moisture out. Label them and your good to go.

5 gallon buckets and lids from Lowes.

That's what I use too -

Welcome to the club. I use a 5 gal bucket & a strainer my wife had an extra in the kitchen.

Careful, taking stuff from the wife can be a painful endeavor...

So true. But she told me to take it.

Does she have a sister???

So far, I just keep pellets in the bag. Like my gunpowder, I'm burning through them pellets pretty quick.

Ya. But I would not send anyone to her
