What is the shelf life of wood pellets?
Pellets have an indefinite shelf life if stored properly. We recommend keeping them stored in a cool, dry place. If stored outside, the pellets should be covered with an additional tarp and on asphalt. Moisture is the culprit for damaged pellets, but if they are kept dry one should not have a problem storing them for an extended period of time. Our factory cover bags have 12 month ultra-violet light (UVI) protection before they will be damaged by the sun. The pellet bags themselves do not have UVI protection and therefore should not be stored in direct sunlight even if stored inside.
