Basics
- A Storage Device marketed as a more ergonomic Fuel Bunker for Coal or Wood Pellets
- Essentially just a small Hopper / Tipple Type Thing
- Made mostly of plastic
- Going for 185 Pounds (Currency) Excluding Value-Added Tax According to the Website
- £222 for a single order after taxes (although unsure of it took the shipping into account, as well as import fees etc, this math was done by User: Eric in Florida)
- If it stays in Mass Flow and avoids the various issues that funnels/hoppers can get is another aspect to look into; the groves on the funnel may be for this
- ’’’Another interesting aspect is the certifications they have’’’ by HETAS and Balcas Energy Approval
Ergonomics
- Better than shoveling out of a traditional Coal Bunker
- Shoveling out of a bin at waist level may be less bad, although as it empties it would get worse
- Alternative Solid Bulk Material Hoppers exist which are worth investigating
- The “stock” option has the bucket on the ground. This may be better from a lifting the weight of a full bucket perspective, although some back and/or knee bending is involved, a stand of sorts is shown off in some videos which makes the bucket about knee or hip height, which may help with that

- The Company’s Website
- The Assembly Instructions (Which also show what the parts look like quite well)
