Outdoor/Underground installation possible for AA 130m?

Hello: I have a setup that is sweeet, and along your lines My efm is in my outbuilding garage in the basement. I built the garage on purpose this way, with a basement, and cast a manhole frame into the concrete floor. Truck dumps my coal ontop the first floor, through the manhole and into the basement to a block bin I built, and have the coal augered into the boiler. All of the mess is out in the garage, and I basically never touch the coal.
Chute it in, take tubs of ashes out. Now....If I could figure a way to auger out the ashes.

Your setup sounds awesome!

Well I just decided to get lazy in my old age and for once thought this out before I acted...

Pics?

I can take pic's of anything? Can't see the coal bin, it's full - about 9 tns of coal, pic's of auger going through the wall?
I do have a screen insert - about 1" sq. that I run the coal through -- don't want to have to MT a coal bin.
Anybody have any gizmo's to auger out ashes?

So ---you have a screen shielding the auger pick up point and under that 9 ton of coal

you may as well start shoveling now -

the screen will either bridge the fuel above or plug

No. I put a screen insert in the manhole frame, and all of the coal must go thru that before it gets in the bin. Only one stone this year, but it was about 1.75" and would have plugged the auger sure as shoot. I remove this screen and put the lid back on once all the coal gets in.

I would think an adaptation of this could do the job>>>Flex Auger

holy jump to conclusions --- ME BAD

That sounds excellent! Exactly what I'd want to do.

Only part of this that I screwed up on, -- I used 1.5" copper to go from the house to garage ~ about 120lf. I burried the copper in 4" plastic pie w/o insulation. Wish I would have insulated, but this was costing a small fortune as it was. When I did it I was using a hand fired soft coal boiler, and really didn't care if it was the most efficient.
At any rate, that could have been better. But don't have your fingers on the copper in the house when the call for heat comes on, or your fingers will get scorched- so ? how inefficient is it? Once the pipe and the ground gets warmed, I don't think I loose much.
