Hello

I just like to keep the Wood Pellet Stove Hopper Clean

So I came up with this:

Pellet Stove Hopper Fines Shop Vac Adapter

It is just some window screen taped (Foil Tape) on to a shop vac crevice tool, but works quite well!

Vacuums up the fines and not the pellets!

See pics.

Don, that's a good idea.....I may have to make one to add to my cleaning "accessories"
 
I ended up using a huge metal trash can to dump the bags of pellets into before I hit the road. The wife, scoops them out as she needs them and it cuts way down on the fines that make it into the hopper. Two weeks later, I empty the trash can of the 2" of fines and I'm good to go. Nice tool though! I love redneckin things!
 
Hello

Thanks

All the parts can be purchased at Lowe's or HD. I got mine at HD.
