Burned a bag of previously wet pellets...

[John97]

While I was out earlier today I realized I didn't fill the hopper this morning. I had the wife/son get a bag out of the garage and dump it in. I came home and checked and found a bunch of puffy pellets and sawdust. My best guess is that 30% of the pellets got wet. I decided to just let it go and see what happens.

Well, it burned all day, I just topped it off tonight with 3/4 of a bag of fresh pellets. If it runs all night, it'll be fine.

I saved a couple of the puffy pellets and will be having a training seminar tomorrow.

When I load my hopper up I just grab a full bag, throw it on top and cut the bottom letting the entire bag emtpy into the hopper. One time I grabbed a bag that must of had some moisture in it and I started seeing puffy pellets go in and in a second the bag is empty b/c of the giant hole I just cut into it. All I did was mix the hopper up and turned the bad pellets into dust. It ran fine with zero issues.

I called my wife on the phone and told her to have the boy dump a bag in the hopper.
