Pellets and dust

[Ctwoodtick]

I’ve always used whatever pellets I can find at TSC or Lowe’s. When loading pellets I get sawdust float into room. Do higher quality pellets have the same amount of dust as the cheaper stuff? I’d consider switching if it meant less dust when loading.

The pellets I use don't have too much dust. I am now using two 5 gallon buckets which I fill outside in the garage. That gets rid of most of the dust and makes it easier for me to carry 40 pounds down to the basement. Then it makes it easier to pour into the hopper.

All pellet brands have some dust
The amount of dust depends on how the bags are handled
The rougher the handling, the more dust in a bag
