The choice of pellets - Which brand works/feeds best in BYB1200

[Sammie The Bull]

I buy bulk at Costco and keep in the bags down in the 40% humidity basement, until I dump a bag in my 40 lb dog food hopper.......always fresh.

A 40 pound dogfood hopper? LOL, pardon my curiosity, but what the heck is a 40 pound dogfood hopper?

It's a dog food hopper that has a sealed lid and can hold 40 pounds of dog food or pellets.

Here is what i bought at Home Dumpster, all for $10 bucks to store a loose open bag of pellets.
After shopping for a storage container made just for pellets, they seemed to be cheap made garbage.

The Bucket companion snaps (extremely tight) onto the 5 gallon bucket, then you screw the o-ringed sealed lid onto the bucket.
This bucket and lid sure seems alot stronger than those cheap garbage Traeger pellet containers. I think the HD bucket will hold more too.

At my age & disabilities, the HD bucket will be much easier for me to work with when i have to had some pellets to the big bull horned monster.

@Ol' Smokey
Any idea who makes Cabela`s pellets for them? They sure look really familiar, like maybe Bear Mountain (?)

I can't get my dog to eat those pellets, how do you do it?

This is about 3 years old now, but Lumberjack once made pellets for Cabela. Info was from a LJ customer service rep trying to help me find LJ pellets within reasonable distance of me.
