Pellet dust cleaning vacuum contraption

(1/3) > >>

ScottE:
I finally got around to building a pellet dust cleaning vacuum contraption - I don't remember where I first saw this, it was probably 5-10 years ago. There are some videos on YouTube, but I seem to recall seeing this originally on a forum, maybe it was PH, I don't think it was here. Anyway, here's my build! It's all pretty self-explanatory (I think), so I'll just post the pictures and I can answer any questions that come up. It worked great! I got a number of small pellet chunks through the screen (shower drain), but I only rescued maybe a 1/2 dozen pellets from the 45 pounds I ran through it, and that is OK by me.

Now I've never worried about pellet dust before, but it's something I wanted to try out in my recent battles with my Camp Chef XT (see my Savannah Stoker thread there). I don't think the dust was an issue, but now that I have it, I will continue to use it as it is nice to get rid of that dust!

 I remember that.. There is a balance to be had between airflow and pellet volume. I just don't recall the detail. Something to do with the holes, size and or number.  Waiting to see how it works.

I remember seeing the thread on PH, but no details. Do you have a problem with dust with LJ pellets?

My belief is the longer you have them the more dust you will have.
The weight will cause some pellets to disintegrate. I'm finishing up LJ pellets I've had for 4-5 years and there is quite a bit of dust in these bags.
I don't filter it, it burns up.

I find they work great in the Memphis and sometimes not so great in the MAK.
