I have seen people mention that someone has made a home made system to transfer pellets from a storage bin to their pellet stove/boiler. I can't find the post. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks,
Andy

Andy ,I just finally got signed in on here so how can I help you with making the Kan_Burn?
It can move and clean corn at the same time and has been known to do this over 100 feet.
here's a pic of the very 1st one I made,and by the way I made the 2nd one and my model is the one that
has been copies over 1000's of times....and the price is priceless. you make it yourself...
here's a pic of my 1st Kan_Burn system in the garage going into the IBC Tote

Also, with only one switch the system would be continuously turning on and off. I want it to turn on when it hits the lower sensor and the turn off when it hits the upper sensor.

Well all I can tell you guys is that what I did was to use a outdor timer that I got at lowes for $20.00 a peace,
the one in the garage comes on at 8:59 and goes off at 9:01 (this way theres no interfence while watching TV
the other one comes on at 9:15 off at 9:17 Same reason. ;-) 2 minutes is plenty of time for 24 hr burn, if you want more make it run longer..
here's a couple pictures of the set up
1st on is the timer in the basement

timer in the garage

You can use a single "stop" sensor, and a timer. That way, the filling always happens at a convenient time, for the reasons that were just mentioned. If the hopper is full, the sensor prevents the transfer system from moving any fuel. If the hopper is less that full, the transfer system runs until the stop sensor tells it to stop.

Take a breath pal - Corn4myheat has been thru this development for many seasons. He has helped a lot of folks move their pellet and biomass heating fuel. He will help you too if your the least bit handy and patient.

Smileand let it sink in!

Heck, if you want the "perfect" system, I can sell you one. It will cost a few grand, but it money is no object...

If money is an object, then patience is a virtue
