They got wet. Do not use them. They will jam the auger.

Moisture. Vacuum them out and start with fresh.

You left them I the hopper and they got wet. They puff up and explode. Throw it all out now be sue it won’t burn. This is exactly why I empty my hopper after every smoke.

They got wet. Empty the hopper, good chance it jams up the auger.

Toss it all and put fresh in when you cook. Too much moisture there

Empty all it, clean it all out. Somehow, someway it got wet. It’s useless now.

Vacuum those bad boys. Jamming isn’t the end of the world but annoying as fuck.

Don’t use them looks like moisture. I thought mine would be ok when they looked like that and they froze my augur. Had to tear it down pull out the augur and chip em out. (My kids had a squirt gun fight and got moisture in it)

Junk. Clean out and get new ones in there. Got wet. Im really suprised you never seen a pellet that got wet before

No.
No, no, no.
Do NOT use those previously wet pellets unless you WANT an auger jam.
No.

Vacuum them out! My husband got our smoker wet and the auger has been jammed for a year. Grounds for divorce? We have tried anything we could think of to get it working again, but no luck.

Moisture will turn the pellets to dust
If you want to use them you will need to empty the grill out and sift the pellets through a course colander ( or something similar) to get all the dust separated from the usable pellets

You should touse them out. They are ruined.

I use them in the smoke tube, they work great if you can get them dry before they get moldy.

Use in a smoke tube or maze. Repurpose them instead of throwing away but they can’t be used in the auger.
