Oklahoma Joe Pellet Sifter/Storage Bucket

I saw this product in a Youtube video I was watching this evening. It's made by Oklahoma Joe and it is a pellet sifting bucket. (Home Depot carries it.)



The idea is that you store your pellets in it and lift out the sifter part which hold the pellets but lets any saw dust fall through to the bottom of the bucket.



I thought that was kinda snazzy. The bucket holds 20 lbs of pellets and sells for $40, which is a bit pricey.

The BBQer's Delight pellets I use don't produce that much dust, but they do near the end of the bag. (I'm not even certain dust causes any issues in the hopper unless there is a huge amount of it.)

Still, I think it would be useful if one really doesn't want any dust in one's hopper.

I've had dust clog up my hopper twice. Not cool, so now I often let it run really low so I can "dust out" the bottom.

I just use one of these when I get down to the last half-gallon or so of pellets in the bottom of the bag. I think I picked mine up for $0.50 at a garage sale.

Wow! A device I didn't know I needed. But I can understand why it could work. My pellets have never shed enough dust to worry about though. I usually mostly JAX but interchange others as well.
