just burn'em baby! :coolgrin:
 
If they absorbed any moisture they would haved swelled up, or turned back into sawdust.
 
I would just burn them, but if in doubt, mix them with some fresh ones and you should be good to go.
 
I leave a little bit in every year and have never had a problem.

Just burn them!
 
Same here, had about 1/3 left in and just burned them no issue. Humidity is no problem and you will get a ton of saw dust if they really fell apart due to water coming in.
