I think a bandaid just fell off my finger and into the hopper when I was filling it. If it did fall into the hopper will it gunk up the works? Should I sift through the hopper to be sure? TIA
 
You should be fine, they are flexible
 
I wouldn’t want it melting and going through my stove. If it’s easy enough I would just dig it out. But if it’s long gone then don’t worry about it.
 
Thanks to you both. I just scooped the pellets out of the hopper and put them back in and didn't see the bandaid although it might not be noticeable given it is approximately the same color as the pellets. Fingers crossed!
