Storing Wood Pellets

Trying to burn wet wood is a waste of energy and time. Wood pellets should be kept off the ground and stored in a dry location to avoid moisture. If stored in a garage or shed, the wood pellets should be easy to access and off the floor. If they are to be stored outside, store them away from buildings, with only the top covered, leaving the sides and bottom exposed to allow air to circulate. However, if you store your wood pellets outside you might need to be creative when thinking of a dry location that is off the ground. Most people, who create their own wooden pellets, do so in the spring to allow the wood to dry out over the summer season. Dry wood burns best, and keeping it dry is the key. If you're not into creating your own wooden pellets Home Depot and Lowe’s offer them year round.
