Can burn 40 lb bag of wood pellets 7- 8 hours in my wood stove

I experiment burning wood pellets in my wood stove. If you are able to fill every 1 1/2 hours the 40 lb bag should last about 7-8 hours.

Another good one. MAJOR WARNING: Be careful loading pellets onto coals (no flame). I had a situation in my woodstove-to-pellet conversion whereas I loaded about 3 pounds of pellets on a bed of pellet coals (thinking eventually the fresh pellets would catch fire from the coals). What happened was as the fresh pellets heated up, they gave off extremely flammable gas. When they heated up to the flash-point (point of ignition) the gasses caused a major explosion in the stove. Blew the door wide open, and blew the cap off of my stovepie, which landed halfway across the yard. So, when coals are present load a small amount of pellets until a flame is present before loading up on pellets (so gasses won't build up). Wyoming here-been 20 below overnights with 30 below predicted for Wednesday night. Thank you

Great Vid. I have been burning Pellets basically because of the lack of wood supply around me. Heres a HINT when you need to put more pellets on the fire or embers, USE a Pringles Potato Chip can. Fill it up with Pellets then you can direct where you want them. When you have just embers, put the pellets on one side of the embers, wait till they light off then put more pellets on the other side. Much easier than trying to put pellets where you want them with a scoop. You are right, the pellets burn too hot if you let them get a lot of air. You need a container that restricts the air flow into the burning pellets to control heat, and this will increase the burn time.

Brother that was one fantastic video, I am so glad you ran this one through, what a great idea generator. I have both also. Last year I did not have wood for my furnace, and the feed on my pellet stove stopped working, I reverted to keeping the body plenty warm and zoned heating, little cheepo philipo 6" heaters with thermostats, bought 8 @ $25 my avg hydro bill was $160, This year still no wood because the government was handing out mini splits, I received 4 of them at their cost of about $30,000, first month was I thought high at about $400 so I toned down, operated 3 @ 61 degrees @ a combined time of 30 hrs. between them, this months hydro bill $500...so disappointing. This was a couple of days ago, I went online got some ideas on how to rejuvenate my old furnace, got it working, so cool. still no wood but lots of pellets, today I am going to build a cage that I can slide through a 14" door on rails which will rest on a fire starter in the furnace, I an going to take your system and drop a couple more rows up the 14" cage. This video made my day, your the man

Hey Jim!Great video! I'm in Montana and it's in the negatives right now (-33), which is pretty much the norm for this time of year. I switch to a pellet stove 5 years ago because the cost of wood and the labor to stack and dry then bring it in wasn't worth doing. Plus my kids are all grown and out of the house now. Pellets are really nice to have and stove works great but I really love the amount of heat the wood stove put out. After seeing your video, I may keep an eye out for another wood stove just in case the pellet stove decides to die. This video answered all my questions because I honestly didn't think of burning pellets instead of cord wood. New sub from me. Much thanks!!

Central Arizona here, we have a woodstove but honestly it rarely gets cold long enough to use it. Nice to have for an extended winter power outage but unless it's cloudy all day, which is a rare occurrence, our house warms up nicely on its own during the day and even last winter when our heater was out for a couple of weeks, it didn't get cold enough in the house to fire up the stove. Even when it got down in the teens at night, the house would only be about 55 by sunrise and then within a couple of hours it was up to about 65 inside. The woodstove would've run us out of the house. As much as I like the ambience of watching a fire in a fireplace or stove, ours is strictly for emergency heat.

I do this sometimes, I bought a small stainless steel vegetable, barbeque basket off amazon, I place this upside down in the stove then pile the wood pellets on top.

Hi Jim were gonna have pretty mild temps like in the 50's during the day and the 40's at night here in South Jersey. It looks like the Pellets produce a hotter more rapid fire than cordwood but it won't complete replace a long, steady and consistent heat like logs. Especially when you have to burn more than 2 bags a day, but it could be great to save some firewood once in a blue moon. Based off what I read you can but can't burn them in a wood stove. Yes in that they burn very clean and hot but no in the sense that if you're stove is getting up to like over 600 to 700 degrees it could crack or damage it.

I think that this is a great idea if you have leftover pellets. But it looks like it Costs $5 an hour to run on Pellets. If there is any way to get logs, I would never burn pellets. I once had extra pellets and so I burned them on my Kamado Joe BBQ. Yes it burned but it would never be my first choice ti burn a manufactured product since it costs more, unless it was necessary. I would however perhaps use the Pellets to get the Logs Burning.

Middle of New Hampshire it can go to -20 F. An average in Feb. is probably around 0 F. I was late to look for cord wood this year. I am looking to burn pellets in the wood stove. I don't know if the angle irons are needed. It seems like the pellets burn from the top down. Opposite from wood. So as long as the dampers are open correctly, It should burn. The problem is adding more pellets without smothering the burning ones. It will be trial and error I guess.

you might have solved a serious problem for me. i live in Maine near the Canadian border. it gets maybe worst -65 F on a cold morning. BUT your average small tent stove burning away and some SERIOUSLY good insulation will take care of it. anyway i have to heat about 200 square feet of open space and i might not have enough dry firewood. i also HATE getting up at two in the morning to load a very cold stove and light it up again. (the cold always wakes me up, no prob.) so i would like the opportunity to sleep ALL night nice and cozy. THIS pellet idea would work with my possible purchase of a Tractor Supply Forester which already should burn all night with wood. BUT my wood might not be dry for some reason and I have plans to collect bags of pellets for such an emergency. Now I know (because of your experiment) I can do the same thing for a 200 sq ft. shed with one load of pellets. Ten pounds should burn all night, no cold. No reload. as per your experiment!! So a Forester would work nicely for that shed. It has a 4' peaked loft and I think it should heat that okay too. You see I have 1/5th the space to heat that you do in your 1,000 sq ft garage.

A THOUGHT I have been trying to burn the pellets in a wood stove, and my results are somewhat similar to what you are experiencing. We know how the pellet stove works. It feeds limited amounts of pellets over a good amount of time to make heat. Our versions are just a mass of pellets plopped in the stove and it is not a controlled burn, basically a wild fire until they are exhausted. I am toying with the idea of a Rocket Stove, built sort of along the lines of Slim Potatoheads version which can have a gravity feed. The difference is the stove would fit INSIDE the wood stove burner area. The top of the gas exhaust would have a cap with space for the fire to blast out horizontally. The pellet hopper also inside the stove. the supply hopper would have a cover so no oxygen gets in to the supply pellets and won't burn. The screen in the air intake shaft at the bottom of the supply hopper, limits the amount of pellets burnt. yadda yadda yadda.

Is the "#40 bag, 7-8 hours" supposed to be boasting or you thinking that's efficient? A 40 pound bag in my pellet stove I can make last almost 2 days. About 40 hours. I'm in the PNW(pacific northwest)it's been dipping into the high teens to low 20's here at night for the past month or so. 40 pounds at those temps lasts 30-36 hours.

What kind of pellet stove do you have? It was just an experiment. I burn my pellets in my Harman pellet stove.

I will take logs instead of manually loading Pellets. plus I would just buy a Pellet stove ,witch is 10x better then keep on checking to see if I would have manually add Pellets vs the auto load method . this is a poor man's Pellet stove method..

I've been doing this for years. I used to use a homemade steel basket but a cheap pellet smoking basket from the store works every bit as well. A heaped up load of pellets goes around 5-10 pounds and will go for about 2-3 hours. And +1 on hand sanitizer. Lord knows we have enough of the stuff left over, gotta use it for something. Dump a half-cup on the front of the pellet heap and light it off, no worries.

I just burn cash directly. Why bother using the pellet middle man? I guess for an emergency? A bag of pellets is $4.50 for me. 2.5 bags a day is $11.25. That’s $337.35 a month. So 5x more than natural gas at its 2024 price….give or take…
