Even my POS burns everything. lol dump it all in. I make an effort to get everything out of the bag. Been doing this for 3 years and never had an issue with it burning.
Could not agree more. The time spent "sifting" is marginal. And some people's sickness is worse than others. It takes a special breed to just burn pellets. I have friends at work that think I'm crazy because of the things I do for heat. Even with the money I save ($thousands), they still think its easier "there way". So all in all, we all spend more time than normal heating our homes. Isn't that why your here now?

I dump in at the same time with good pellets and it blends them up nice!! Yes I might have to much time on my hands but at least its not being used on cleaning the livingroom. Besides...there is a beer fridge beside the pellet vac :>)
this is what I did also. Once a month. Takes the same time either way. Once the bottom of the auger fills up, the flame starts getting smaller. Auger can no longer grab as many pellets. I may hate it in a week. But its still like a new toy. And I LIKE IT!www_godzilla said:My Quadrafire Sante Fe burns the fines perfectly. I just dump the pellets in the hopper and let the wood pellets heat my home.
Whenever I do my weekly cleaning,I make sure I vacuum the hopper and the auger too.
If you clean your stove when you are supposed to and do a good job at it....your stove shouldn't have a problem with the fines.
Hello
I found some scrap wood and made the "TRH Wood Pellet Fines Sifter"
It fits right over a metal trash barrel and you just dump a bag in. After the sawdust is sifted into the barrel, the sifter is tilted so the end that the red arrows point are into the pellet bag!!
Just fine window screen at Home Depot and scrap wood!
See pic below:
That's the one for me
Simple, and low tech.
The only down side I can see is I can see me chasing some pellets that fall on the floor.
