B & B Mesquite pellets

B & B mesquite pellets
Have used B&B Mesquite pellets for several months. Recently a bag I put in had metal cylinder debris that got caught in my auger and stripped the motor. I had to buy a new one and spent two hours fixing it. Then B&B Mesquite clogged my auger with the wood chips, I spent another 2 1/2 hours taking everything apart drilling out the pellets and putting a new motor back in again. I will never use B&B again. Poison.

WOW, that sucks. Hope you get it all taken care of.

I'm thinking I need to pour my stuff into a bucket first. I try to keep an eye on the hopper when I'm filling but with a second transfer I figure I have a better chance at catching anything that's not a pellet.

Exactly what I started doing.
Here’s the damn cylinder that first went in. Part of their extrusion process? I don’t know.

Looks like a bushing from part of a pellet grill?

There is nothing missing from my Pit Boss, nor is there any way anything other than pellet bag contents were ever loaded into the hopper.

As you can see there’s no part like it in the construction.The white plastic bushing was/is still intact.
