This is for the "Tree Turd" or "Micro Log" burners with FECs, Traegers, etc.
I will never burn enough pellets to justify a pallet order to cut the cost.
I like to try different things, pellet flavors is my project right now.
I do not like "wrassling" bags of pellets and do not trust them to stay intact for long.
I live in FL and we have lots of humidity--prime enemy of pellets.
So, I had my DAD save his cat litter drums.
You could use 5 gal paint cans gathered from a large paint project also.
I line the drums with a 13 gal trash bag, fill with about 20 lbs of pellets, and slap a label on.
Works like a champ. I used some Apple pellets that were bought 05/05 and they were as fresh as new :lol:
I buy from EPPS Farm (Branch Creek brand). www.bbqwoodpellets.com.
Their cost includes shipping, so no surprises. I always get my delivery in about 3 working days, 4 at max. Lots of variety.
I am not recommending them--Do not have enough time cooking with them in the FEC for that.
It is just a source that seems to work for a low volume consumer like me.
Anyway, just some thoughts.
