I agree saving money with this hobby is great. However, I hate the thought that “used”pellets may actually be salvaged pellets. As many of us know, transporting pellets is a gamble at best. How often have we seen torn bags, split bags and spilled bags. Unfortunately, when the spills occur, there are some nefarious souls out there that take a big broom and sweep the spilled contents into a bag (including all the debris on the floor/street), put them in a package, tape it up and sell the product. I wouldn’t have thought this was possible until I visited a “big box” store when they ran a forklift into a pallet busting about 10 bags of pellets. They then proceeded with their version of a salvage operation. The good news was that they marked down the repackaged product about 50%. The better news was that I could afford to purchase an unopened bag. Just my thoughts, “caveat emptor”!I bet you could get some good cooks out of the used ones. I always like to save a little money!
