I've only one this like twice in a year and a half, but yes I use a five gallon bucket and don't have a problem. There are some folks around here that have purchased an attachment for the job, but the bucket works fine for me.
Thank you!
Sure thing. Here's one thread. There's a lot more. There's a "must have accessories" thread somewhere that I think may have a link to something on amazon.
I’ve emptied mine twice. Once because my wife’s cousin bought a bag of the Traeger turkey blend he wanted me to try last year at thanksgiving and this past Christmas when I bought some BM oak pellets I wanted to try for the brisket. Otherwise I just use what is there and refill as needed….usually with BM Hickory.
I can’t really tell the difference either.
When I lived in NY I used to heat my house with a wood stove. I could tell the difference between oak and maple. I have three different pellets in my hopper now. I did a brisket and rib roast with them. When they run out I'll go with BM hickory or oak.
I use a small 3 gallon wet dry vac and suck all of them out. Take a 1 gallon zip lock and put them in there. If here are just a few left I use a small plastic scoop.
