What are pellet storage bins used for?

Pellet storage containers are used to hold the fuel for pellet fireplaces and furnaces. The containers allow customers to purchase large quantities of wood pellets at a time, store them and then use them when needed, in lieu of frequently purchasing small, expensive bags of pellets.

Many pellet manufacturers also give discounts on pellets when they are purchased in bulk, giving their customers further incentives to purchase large amounts of pellets at a time and then keep them in pellet storage containers. The containers come in many different types and models that include steel and fabric bins, exterior silos and hoppers.
