    Tractor Supply had some taped up damaged pellet bags for $3 apiece. I didn't need them but it was a good deal so I grabbed them. I am running about a bag a day.

    I wish I could get all my pellet bags at $3 apiece.

    I've bought some of those damaged bags at a discount before, but I won't do it anymore. Too many foreign objects in them, on account of they aren't very careful what they sweep back into the bags before they tape them up. Last time I burned some, the stove went out with the no fuel blink code, despite the hopper being nearly full. Turns out there was a chunk of cardboard blocking any pellets getting to the slide plate, lol!

    When a pellet bag gets moisture, the puffy residue can cause feeder problems.

    So basically I got 4 bags for $15. The one was basically rot.
