I use the pellets for litter and also for my stove.  I have to cover area
for them either.  My dealer said it is okay to cover them with a tarp.
what I did before placing them on the ground is get some pallets, or use
boards that has 2 layers then stack them, put a tarp on them then weighed
down or use rope.  As long as the pellets are in the plastic bags they will
be okay.  I live on Vancouver Island, BC, so get the rain and wind too.
You can get them by the ton, which I order 3 tons last summer,(specail
price 185.00 a ton for 25 lb) I get mine in the 25 lb bags, which is easier
for Jim and me to handle.  Hope this helps you.
 
Dooks to all
