I was wondering if anyone had any idea why this is ...not really having a problem. But this current bag or bags of pellets are producing a bigger, heavier fly ash. I was wondering if anyone ever had this. Normally they are tiny. Is it a pellet with alittle too much moisture ?? Any Ideas ?? Thanx ..
 
Test them.

here’s a cooking recipe for pellets (lets ya know if they have excess moisture in em);

1, place 1/2 cup pellets in a GLASS not plastic bowl.
2, cover the bowl with a saucer to make moderately airtight
3, nuke them in microwave for about 45 sec, to 1 minute.
4, immediately when finished heating remove the saucer and tip it up vertically, look for moisture on the bottom of the saucer, there should be a little, if enough is present to allow it to run down the bottom of the saucer, they have excessive moisture and probably will not burn optimally.
