Musty, swollen pellets, can I use these

[sydney1963]

Hi, no big deal but I opened a bag of pellets and noticed that some of them were slightly swollen and musty smelling. I also noticed a small hole in the bag. Apparently they got a tad wet. Should I burn these or toss em? Thanks for your help.

Just toss out the bad ones, or the whole bag if there are a lot of them. I've had a few wet/swollen pellets dumped into my stove, and it didn't seem to hurt it a bit.

I wouldn't run them through my stove.

Friend dropped a bag that split and spilled
all over my garage floor. I swept them up
and now use them to absorb spills in the
driveway such as gas, oil, etc.

I'd send them to the Treasury Dept. and ask for your money back- They're like Santa, they want to make everyone happy.

IMO I would use em for mulch. Wouldn't bother taking a chance
of clogging up the stove.

Burn them but go outside and watch all the pretty sparks they create! :lol:






Toss em... they are no longer good.

I concur with everybody else here...toss'em.
