I'm going to implement your idea & use the wood pellet dust in my other process I'm going to do. I have a pellet stove & a chimney in my new house. I save my paper products & cardboard. I have a good shredder to break them down. Then you add water & mix it all up into pulp with a drill. I'll then add in the wood pellet dust to the mix. I have a mold that both shapes the pulp into a brick & presses out the water. You let this dry & it's a super hard brick that you can burn in your fireplace. Haven't completed the process yet, but in 6 months of saving all my mail, food boxes, & anything else made of paper, I have 3 huge contractor bags totally full of shredded paper to do this all with. The pellet dust just adds that much more back into the equation of recycling my waste. Thank you for this video!

Hey Steve! Finally got around to looking at your hopper. I like yours better than some of the others I saw builds on. Nicely done!! I don’t sift my pellets but I do attempt to minimize pouring the dust into the stove. After seeing your pile of fines I might make a sifter. I’m burning about 1/3 to 1/2 bag a day in my Revelli stove as primary heat. 1300 sq feet. I have electric wall heaters that rarely run at night when I shut the stove down , set at 50° F. Thanks for uploading your design.

Great idea. I may do similar, but with two trash can assemblies. The first to hold the dirty pellets directky from the bags. Pull the wastegate and let them pour out over a screen into a bucket. Then dump the clean bucket into the clean trash can.
