Probably because pellets are a by product of the milling industry and it's just not cost effective to keep them separated from their suppliers before pelleting it especially considering most people are just burning them for heat.  The pellet smoker fuel pellets are labelled because they're for cooking but they also cost more than the fuel pellets.  I've used 3 kinds, the freedom was 100%, one was mixed hardwoods and one was 100% oak.

That's funny how you say they are a by product of the milling industry, I was literally coming here to post to ask if it was usual to find corn in your fuel pellets. Will this affect the mushrooms? I assume not but I'm asking to be sure.

I have filter patch bags, but not enough for how many bags I want to do, could I switch to 2 gallon ziplocs for the remainder of the bags?

Any Cabelas in the Appalachians? If so, they sell many different types of all natural hardwood pellets including alder.

The closest Cabela's is in Bristol, VA, haha. The Appalachian's are still very much family oriented. The small towns all still have family owned feed and tractor supply stores. I drove to a larger city and checked Lowes, Walmart and TSC and all had generic brands that didn't label the wood contents. I'm going to be calling a few places today to try and source a pallet of hardwood pellets.

Also, still trying to find out if I'm able to switch to Ziplocs once I run out of Filter Patch Bags.

I would think there might be a source of fresh sawdust were you are. You have allot of trees, right. And if the zip lock can take the heat you'll still have to figure a way for gas exchange. I'm sure I've seen threads where people used zip locks.

Hmmm...looking around, many people say the zip locks will melt in a pc. But I think they might be ok for Lipa's tek. Check one with just water over a sink first.

Yeah, I can get fresh sawdust, all day, everyday. I've been using that for my Oyster Buckets. I was looking into fuel pellets as a work around for having to sterilize the sawdust for my LM. I have a guy who has an entire sawmill. He has a planer that vacuums up the sawdust and puts it into a trash can. Would those shavings be clean enough to do a quick pasteurize similar to Lipa's TEK?

Well, I tried a bag of 6 cups of pellets in a 2 gallon ziploc just to see how it would fare with having boiling water poured into it. It didn't melt, but you can definitely tell that it was red lining it, haha. It still doesn't solve any issues with gas exchange though, so it looks like I'll need to pick up some filter bags!

Good question. It's just an educated guess, but I would think that if they were used fairly quickly they might be ok. You can always try just a couple bags to see.

Yeah, I'll definitely have to try a few bags to see how they go.

Just double checking but would I be able to use those softwood fuel pellets to grow oysters on?

What did you grow on the Freedom Pellets?

Pink oysters and reishi.  The reishi liked it the oysters not so much.  They were my first oysters and as easy as everyone says they are, I could never give them enough FAE.  I'd go with the unknown mixed hardwoods over the freedom pine, but is its all I had I'd use them again.

I know this is an old thread but I was curious on how this turned out?
