Where do you store your Wood Pellets for the summer? What is the temp and humidity?

Hello

I want to make sure that the pellets are stored in a good place. Mine are in the walk out basement and walk out garage. The temp is cool and not much humidity. I did not measure the temp and humidity. Does anyone know what the Ideal Temperature and Relative Humidity for Wood Pellet Storage is??

As long as they are Inside (under cover), they will be fine. Some even keep them outside with good luck. I have kept them in the basement and garage. Only actual water contact should effect the burn quality. Avoid water. Relative Humidity should not be a problem.

Hello

Nice stash smilejamaica. Too bad, I do not have room for anymore!! LOL

Well I know that 40% or less Relative Humidity fells very dry to human skin. That maybe a bit extreme for pellet storage.

However if there is too much humidity, mold or dampness there may be an issue. I am Just not sure? So I would appreciate anyone with experience on this.

Storage? You mean you have some left over?

Hi Scott

Pellet prices started moving up in the last month or so from $3.74 per bag up to $4.99 per bag. So like other people, I picked up some for next year at $4.18 per bag. So far I saved over $100.00. Did you?
