Folks:

I dry my pellets by warming them in the microwave 30 seconds or so. They don't need to be hot, just warm to the touch is plenty.

Then I move them to my chamber vacuum sealer and run them through a cycle. Blammo, all the water vaporizes out of them! A suction-type sealer should work too, just not quite as well because it doesn't draw as hard a vacuum.

Works great, and I no longer have any trouble getting them to stay lit.
 
Jealous you have a chamber vacuum unit.

I'm almost a year into a pellet pooper and smoke tube operator/owner.
I've never had a need to dry the pellets that are stored in an unheated garage.
