Or in my case it's the mother of creation since someone else actually invented the device.
The only place near me that delivers bulk pellets isn't making deliveries until sometime in September. I can load my pellet bin manually but it's a two person process and since I don't have a bulk head I have to lug the pellets through the house and down the stairs.
So I decided to try to use my leaf blower to blow the pellets into the bin using the bulk feed fitting. I mocked up a few pieces of PVC, a large plastic funnel, a couple of fernco fittings and the leaf blower.
Low and behold it worked! The only modification I'm going to make is to attach a toilet fitting to the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket.
I'll take a video of the finished product this weekend.
