Pellet baskets are special containers that are used to burn wood pellets. Imagine a big metal basket with lots of holes in it. Wood pellets are small pieces of wood that have been tightly compressed into little logs. You pour the wood pellets into the pellet basket, and then you light the pellets on fire. The holes in the pellet basket allow air to flow through and help the wood pellets burn evenly. The basket can be used inside of a wood stove, a fireplace or even outside on a fire pit. Because wood pellets are made from wood waste, they're less polluting than burning wood logs. Pellet baskets make it easy for people to use wood pellets as a fuel source and be more environmentally friendly.
