The latest batch of Barefoot pellets I purchased are jamming up my stove. There are a bunch of long pellets in the bags that keep jamming my stove and shutting it down. Has anyone else been having this problem? I have used the barefoot for the last couple of years and had no issues other than the latest pallet I started burning.

This is my second year using Barefoot pellets. I have seen a small number of extra long pellets mixed in with each bag (I think I saw this last year, too). I haven't had my stove shut down because of it, but there have been a few times when I notice there are not enough pellets being fed, and have heard some pellet crunching sounds, which I assume are the large pellets being broken up by the auger.
