So my coal vac system works quite well with 2 Dust Deputies and 2 vacs.
But wondering what to do with the really fine coal dust that is separated out and ends up in the 5 gallon pail underneath the Dust Deputies?

You could bag it up and throw it in the trash with your ash (if you throw your ash out) or do like I do and throw it in the bonfire :D

Blow it thru a shop vac into a hot bon fire. I'll watch for the mushroom cloud. :lol:

Oh sorry, that's probably a really bad idea...

Pyro! :lol: I used to work with a man who liked to make clouds of powder coat paint explode. Some made quite the flame. He did it outside with handfuls.

Kunger, its non-toxic, no prob there. You can do about anything you want with it.
