This is what happens when you leave the wood pellets in the microwave too long it melts the Tupperware and catches on fire
Man that is not good,I have found using a paper plate or bag helps get more moisture out.This is what happens when you leave the wood pellets in the microwave too long it melts the Tupperware and catches on fire
Why not just leave the bag of pellets open to dry out?
I usually have time to do that, but not today..

It was the second 2 minutes that did it., I normally place them in a preheated MES while i am prepping the meat, just didn't have time this time.I might add it was sweet grapevine pellets mixed with pecan, I think I invented a new air freshener for the house,it still smells sweet this morning when I got up. lesson learned.You could have been a statistic...... close one....
I used Tupperware once...melted it. Several fine folks here suggested a paper plate.
Also had a pile of smoldering pellets once. I zap them for 45 second intervals with a 3 minute rest between. I also stir them up between nuking cycles...
if I got to light the Bosses oven to dry out pellets I ain't doing it...Seems like using a foil pan and the oven at 100 degrees or so would work better.
As of yet, about 10 smokes on my 12" AMNPTS, I've never had any problems lighting or keeping lit. Never dried my pellets. 30" gen 1 MES.
Well you are one of the lucky folks....
