Very cool! Lots cheaper and fewer moving parts than my auger system. I'd like to see more detailed pics too when you get a chance. So all the dust is going into the shop vac?

I like this idea.
Interested in how many filters it uses.
Hopfully you can start a new topic around this in Venting , Plumbing, Chimneys, Controls, and Coal Bins.
I would call it inovative, from my perspective.
I'm thinking about those cyclones they sell for sawdust, but your idea has leggs.
i would send the vacume exhaust outside.
