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.?

Stovers,
For those who aren't familiar with all the barbeques and such that have played with gravity feed pellet burners, here is a simple campstove variant.
