Pellet (dust) sifting/sifters?
Anybody know of cheap and effective pellet dust sifter offerings out there on the inner nets?

Thanks, I looked at that search result earlier, but I'm really looking for a ready made device (that say fits a 5 gallon bucket) or something else that's turn-key.

How does that separate the dust?

Re: Pellet (dust) sifting/sifters?
Okay, thanks again but in my stupidity I can't figure out how that screen will allow me to sift out the dust, unless I'm supposed to fill the bucket with pellets and then hold it upside down and shake?
I hope not I'm no longer holding five gallon buckets of pellets in the air and shaking them these days.
I'm going to call them and see if they can explain what the sift function does and how it's used.

Re: Pellet (dust) sifting/sifters?
My Step-son gave us several huge plastic jars with screw on tops several years ago when they were gathering pecans from the ROWs in their neighborhood and they are great for keeping my Pellets in. I would imagine that they are very close to being completely air tight so if I happen to see dust in any pellets I just use a regular kitchen strainer on the Pellets that I am using that particular time as I dump them in the hopper. Let us know what you decide and how it works for you.

Re: Pellet (dust) sifting/sifters?
Although pellet dust has caused me no problems after seeing this issue a few years ago I decided to try a no cost solution.
That solution was to pour the pellets from one container to another on a breezy day, it worked.
To be honest I used a box fan to simulate the breezy day but the breeze blew the dust away and the heavier pellets fell down to the target,
Had to use some Kentucky windage to get the distances right but considering the time and effort it is a solution,

Papa Tom, I too have had no problems with dust, however, if I ever do then I'll use your "Fan Technique" to clean them with.
