Congrats! I leave my pellets in all the time, it is under a cover area and I don’t put a cover on it. Our area runs an average humidity of 45 to 55 and I haven’t had an issue……
Snowy times are actually pretty dry air especially if sustained cold. It’s the freeze thaw under heavy humidity. I never changed my pellets in North Dakota and my smoker was out in the open with just a standard cover…..
I always liked Lumberjack pellets, generally 100% of the wood they say they are. Most others say a type of wood but when you look harder they are also filled with other "hardwoods". I have read that recteq pellets are not the greatest....just what I have read.Ok cool, thanks for the info. Besides the recteq pellets are there any other ones that are recommended or not recommended? Or is a pellet just a pellet?
When it comes to food grade pellets some are better than others. I burn LOTs (currently 70-80lbs a month) of pellets so price point is important to me. I have used lil devils and Costco brand…Ok cool, thanks for the info. Besides the recteq pellets are there any other ones that are recommended or not recommended? Or is a pellet just a pellet?
Don't store them in your house. Wood pellets will set off your carbon monoxide detector. Unopened bags can be stored in a garage on top of a skid or something similar. You don't really want them lying on a cement floor. Opened bags if they aren't going to be used in the near future should be stored in an airtight container to prevent moisture.Any special ways of storing ones not in the hopper? Airtight container? Inside the house? Inside the garage?
This bucket is a bit pricy but well made basket. Pellets can be dusty.B&B pellets seem readily available locally so I’ll probably start there. My parents have a Costco membership so that’s an option too.

I got a bunch of screw top 5 gal pails from a friend. Check around as they are widely used....

That is more than a "bit" pricey.This bucket is a bit pricy but well made basket. ...
I leave mine in the garage , or out on the patio under cover . I also have some tupperware containers out there . I don't do anything special , but I use them up pretty fast .Any special ways of storing ones not in the hopper? Airtight container? Inside the house? Inside the garage?
Look for the Championship blend . I like those the best .B&B pellets seem readily available locally so I’ll probably start there.
The pit boss are okay but the have a lot of dust in each bag. Not saying do not buy Pit Boss but do a good cleaning afterwards.Anyone try the pit boss “blends”? Seems they have a blend and then they have individual kinds but those also say “hickory blend”.
There is also some bear mountain type and the kingsford ones that are infused or something? Like garlic onion paprika pellets?
Also saw a royal oak brand that was 100 percent charcoal pellets. That idea seemed odd to me.
These were all at Lowe’s, I have a Lowe’s gift card burning a hole in my pocket lol.
I haven't used PitBoss pellets. My SIL bought a Cabelas rebranded PitBoss and the salesman told him to avoid PitBoss pellets ( go figure). Cabelas pellets used to be Lumberjack which are very reliable pellets.Anyone try the pit boss “blends”? Seems they have a blend and then they have individual kinds but those also say “hickory blend”.
