Does anybody have a grain bin or silo for storing pellets? I have two small grain bins ( 6 to 8 tons) that I purchased. I am looking to use one for storage and will sell the second. I am looking for ideas for pellet transfer, Vacuum or flex augger.
 
I built a bin that holds 15 tons of pellets. I was going to rig up a vacuum system, but I ended up using a 5 gallon bucket to move the pellets into the hopper since the bin is only 15' from the boiler.
 
This is one of two silos
