We just got a pellet stove installed and were wondering how we were going to keep a bag of pellets accessible near the stove without having an ugly 40-pound plastic bag sitting in our living room.  This large size holds one entire bag of pellets, plus some extra room leftover.  The handle on the side makes it easy for my husband to lift up the bucket to pour the pellets into the stove when we want to use an entire bucket's worth of pellets.  Otherwise, we keep a big scoop in the bucket with the pellets, which helps to easily refill the stove, for those of us who need to hit the gym and aren't quite in shape enough to lift a full bucket.  

Pros: Great value, rustic look goes well with pellet stove
