I've built a simple filter for cereal fines, involving a couple of inclined planes, gears,pulleys, 3 mirrors and mothballs. I store all the fines accumulated in an empty Froot Loops box, which I will return to Sam's Club when full. As a matter of fact, all I have to do is call them and I've been promised they will come to my house with necessary equipment and swap me for a new, full box.
my stove Er bowl can burn uh take them all, I figure I paid for the weight not the just the good pieces, it just makes my auger um spoon jam every so often.
I think one's area and income level has a big impact in the type and value you place on cereal fines.
Myself, it's oatmeal, which by it's very nature is high in fines. The upside is that I've been told it's good for my exhaust system. I was warned about them jamming my auger system, but haven't found that to be the case. As I use a multi-fuel system, which I run 24/7 as a primary btw, I've found a blend of milk, butter, and honey with the oats to give me the most efficient burn in my firepot. A passing glance when cleaning shows that I'm getting a clean burn from it as well. One thing I have found with the oatmeal is that if I tumble the container before using them each time keeps the fines more evenly distibuted so that when I get to the bottom of the box I don't have a pile of them only. I've tried other cereals, but haven't had as good a return verses the effort put into them.
