Store and Pour Style Plastic Container

Basics

  • A Plastic Container (Think “Rubbermaid Bin” or “Tupperware” etc) but with a lid with a special spout feature
  • Some simply have the fold down spout, while others also have a flip open hatch integrated into the lid
  • Real handy for storing Wood Pellets and probably plenty of other similar bulk solids you want to be able to dispense easily, but keep dry

Sourcing

  • User: Eric here,
    • I got this at Walmart recently:
    • It held ‘’’almost’’’ the whole bag of that Flame Genie Brand wood pellets, when the weather allows me to have a fire and whatnot I’ll update on how well it pouted and all that but yeah
    • Seems it is a common design, but this one has the hinged hatch (for scooping maybe? Bit small and ripping off the whole lid wouldn’t be too hard) AND the spout for whatever that’s worth
    • It may not stack/pack closely together too well so that is a potential disadvantage
  • All in all I’d say it’s a good cheap solution
