Good quality sawdust will be clean looking with no large particles or bark in it. It should not be damp and it should smell ' fresh' not moldy or like there is chemicals in it. If it is to be used for horse bedding make sure it is 100% pine sawdust, any other type will cause problems with the horse and black walnut can cause a fatal bout of laminitis. For other animals pine is also typically preferred, however some small animals should use cedar or another type of wood.

Why does sawdust explode?
Sawdust Explosions: Sawdust normally does not explode. The conditions have to be just right, the sawdust dust cloud has to have just enough space between particles to have abundant oxygen, and yet the particles must be close enough to ignite nearby particles. The explosion is due to the large surface area that is exposed to oxygen, burning wood is typically limited by the amount of oxygen that can get to the surface of the wood, this is why blacksmiths used to pump air into forges for more heat. It can also catch fire if it is a large pile, like at a sawmill, especially since sawdust at a mill will have traces of oil used as a lubricant for the machinery used to process the wood. As the wood decomposes, it can create heat. The weight of the sawdust in the pile creates pressure. If the heat and pressure become great enough, the sawdust can spontaneously combust, creating a fire. Once the sawdust pile gets large at sawmills, some owners spread the sawdust out in order to prevent that from happening.
