    I don't have a Harman but I agree! less dust makes the wife happy, which in turn makes my life happier!

    Walk outside and pour them into a bucket from the bag. With a breeze, the fines will head east and the pellets will fall into the bucket. Come back in and fill the hopper. I use to do it with my leaf blower as I dumped, but now I just pour.

    depends on your stove...some of us dump them in and never look back - but that's because our stoves will never clog because of them.

    you can also just let the hopper run empty every so often and vacuum out the auger channel.
    i don't do this. but it is an option if they cause problems for you.

    i have started noticing this year that if i always keep the hopper full, the fines start to concentrate from successive bags.
    i have not really measured it. but i've started letting the hopper run low more often so the fines form a period of time run through before i start keeping things topped off.

    i'm four tons in this year and no problems so far.
