History
Following the success of Kan_Burn cleaner/mover, the need for a portable, lightweight corn cleaner/mover that is as good as or better than the original Kan_Burn arose. And of course, the need was met!
Please Note
See the main Kan_Burn for specifics on the overall system as this article will focus on the mini exclusively.

The Mini
More to come
I have added a picture slide to show those of you that are having a bit of trouble understanding whats been said and done. I hope this will clear up things.. Keep in mind that the Kan burn can be as long or short as you want it to be.. All you need to do is lengthen or shorten the screen and the pvc that goes over it and connects to the Y

The first mini kan_burn was designed as a secondary gravity-fed cleaner attached to the bottom of a corn bin. Cleaned corn flowed into one bucket while fines were collected in the other. It was comprised of a piece of 1/4" hardware cloth rolled and tie-wrapped around a partially-ripped length of 1.5" ABS pipe; a 3" PVC wye and a PVC bushing 3" to 1.5" with the 1.5" hole reemed out a bit to accommodate the 1.5" ABS pipe.
The full story is available at http://forum.iburncorn.com/viewtopic.php?t=2856 with a followup story and a larger-diameter design at http://forum.iburncorn.com/viewtopic.php?t=6345 .
Corn4MyHeat then built and tested a succesful vacuum version of the mini kan_burn as documented in the following thread. He reported that it cleaned as effectively as the full size (mama) kan_burn and that it presented a feasible alternative especially where headspace is lacking for a fullsize kan_burn. Note that C4's mini, below, is slightly longer than Corny's pictured above. http://forum.iburncorn.com/viewtopic.php?t=3045
