Saw it Alex, thanks for the post: It seems they are using an electric motor-driven augur. It appears to me (with admittedly limited knowledge of pellet feed systems for stoves beyond what we owned and operated for a few years), to really be no different than the augur drive of a typical pellet stove. I'm personally after a full-on motor-less, gravity-driven system.
The problem is, as you and others have mentioned, the risk of back burn and bridging of the fuel load in the feed tube. I would like to include Lanny Hansen, our inveterate and underspoken stove design expert here: Lanny ? How do they manage this with bird feeders etc.?
