Welcome PG,
That is awesome, did you put that together yourself?

I built it over the summer. 2x4's, conveyor rollers, 50ft belt off e-bay, couple sprockets and a electric motor. Coal bin has 6 tons on it. No ash removal system, I wish.

Nice,

Do you manually run the system or is it automated?
Maybe a slide float on the barrel, so when the level is low it would start the conveyor and raise the level.
I guess you need something to do though while you are taking out ashes though

.
very smart system.
Best Regards
