I'm with your husband. It's all wood, it'll all burn, when it burns, you get heat. You paid for it, burn it.

I dump mine right into the hopper from the bag. Have 6 tons through the stove now, not as much as some, more than some others.
Every couple of weeks I let the hopper run clear out and I vac it out. I've probably never got more than a couple of tablespoons of fines out when it was empty and my Breckwell has a single auger, gravity-fed type system. It moves the pellets and fines right up the chute and they all burn up in the burn pot.
Of course if I had a bag of pellets with a ton of fines in them I probably wouldn't use them.
