A method and apparatus for adjustably directing granular material through a container. The apparatus includes a converging transition portion defining an input opening that converges to an output opening having a first transverse opening dimension (x1). The apparatus further includes an elongated chimney portion coupled to the converging transition portion and having a second transverse opening dimension (x2), where the first transverse opening dimension (x1) is smaller than the second transverse opening dimension (x2). This configuration reduces the outlet pressure created in the converging transition portion as the granular material passes through the container to minimize bridging of the granular material within the container.
