Pellet dust

[Sean D]

What is the best way to get the pellet dust and pellets separated? When I poured the pellets into the smokefire I noticed there was alot of dust in the bag.

Some folks get a sifting screen, put it over a bucket, and our. That takes care of it. I've never done it and my EX6 seems to deal with the dust OK.

Highly dependent upon the brand of pellet and each lot of pellets.

As others have already said, a lot depends on the brand and how the bags were handled before you get them. I use Camp Chef pellets and use Ryobi 18v blower to clean dust out of my pellet bin on the Camp Chef. Also use it between cooks to blow out the smoker after removing as much residual as possible. I don't smoke that often so, I'm not buying a separate vacuum.

Pour the bag into a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid and use a scoop to load the hopper most of the dust ends up at bottom of the bucket, especially if you stir them a bit while scooping.
