  As the filter .....  carefully lift and discard the dirty paper towel, replacing it with a new one to begin again.

  Curtis, You're throwing away money.  Take the debris (slumgum) and  pour over old pine cones.  Use those with a short candle wick  emplaced in the pine cone and your old filter paper as firestartes in  your wood stove or fireplace.  The pine cones can be sold for  $0.50 to $0.75 apiece, and the firestarters do sell.
