Thanks Jim! I’ve often wondered if I could burn pellets in my stove? I’m 71 years old and fire wood is becoming a challenge? Thanks again! Joe
Welcome thanks for watching
I have been burning pellets in my wood stove for over 20 years. After several iterations I settled on a shoe-box sized unit made out of angle iron and 1/4 inch stainless steel welded wire mesh. The bottom is made from 3/8" steel cut from an old wood stove. Same for the front panel. The steel sections are drilled with 3/8" holes in a grid pattern much like you did your unit. The sides and back panel are made from the wire mesh. The fire box has stubby 1"legs. Just throwing in a pile of pellets just doesn't work well. You can't add pellets without smothering the bottom and creating lots of smoke. It just smolders. This is why the legs and the holes in the bottom are necessary. If you want to add pellets to the box you must first take an implement or gloves and bang the unit up and down to sift the spent ash away from the remaining coal. This allows air to circulate from the bottom and then you can add new pellets on top to continue the burn. You do not have to take the burning chamber out of the stove. To start a new fill I spritz kerosene on the top and light that. To speed up the burn I also jam a heat gun against the bottom of the front panel to create a coal that will burn from the bottom up. With the kerosene burning from the top down and the coal burning from the bottom up the stove comes to temperature pretty quick. Using this unit I can get a burn to last 6-7 hours. I have determined that this unit uses about the same amount of pellets that an actual pellet stove uses per day. The heat output of pellets in this unit is comparable to burning wood pieces. I just set my air intake where I want and it just cruises for several hours. I burned wood for several decades before I went to pellets and I won't go back. Pellets burn 50% cleaner that split wood. Pellets are much easier to store and transport. My small home is entirely heated by this stove and an additional electric oil-radiator stove when needed. The main thing when burning pellets is that they need a LOT of air.
You should send me a couple pictures of this or real small video to my email it’s in the description. I would like to see it. Thanks you very much for explaining.
Good job
Awesome thanks, my only questions are is how long does a sack of pellets last and and because winter temperatures vary, I'm located on Vancouver Island in Canada, of course the colder the climate the more pellets are required.

This gives me a great alternative to cutting and stacking cordwood. Bags of wood pellets store more easily indoors than firewood, too. I’m a Navy Veteran. Thank you for your service! ✨🇺🇸✨🇺🇸✨🇺🇸✨
Thanks for watching Janine thank you also for your service
Good burn more pellets
Great idea, I also made with a perforated jar I insert pellets, but your idea of the brackets placed like this without the basket is great and with the possibility of very easy pellet supply👏👏👏
thanks for watching Joe
Thanks for a great instructional video. You answered a question I've had about an alternate to gel fire starter. Here in Ontario, a 1 liter bottle of the stuff is 15 dollars plus 13% tax. I'm sure hand sanitizer would be less than half of that. It's a big help to know that. I'll stock up on it. You have a great backup there now for the absolute insanity that is going on in our world. Thanks again and God Bless.
Welcome thanks for watching we all just need to pray for each other.
Great idea. Ive been playing with the idea of burning pellets,but im not ready to get rid of my wood stove yet.I"ll see what I can build.
Thanks for watching did you see the other video I made, it was at the end of this video.
Good morning and merry Christmas to you and all the peeps here. Absolutely great idea. This is a perfect solution for our wood stove at the cabin. I will be making three or four of these. This design makes it very easy for my wife to simply change out a "cartridge", light, and use it for easy use of our wood stove.
Awesome hope it works for her, thanks for watching
Merry Christmas to you and your family also
Fantastic vid, appreciate the thorough explanation. We have an old dead heatilator fireplace that I want to replace with a wood burning insert this winter to supplement our $$$ fuel oil. Seems like a couple pallets of pellets down in the basement would be easier than storing split wood, and this would work in a power outage unlike an electric pellet burning insert.
It would work in a pinch. I was thinking the same thing. Does not Throw a lot of heat is better than freezing
I bought a all 'Packer' stove that can be used in a tent years ago. Just thought that you might like to know that the instructions ( yes, I read them.) Said to put 1" of dirt in the bottom to protect it. I guess creosote would cause corrosion over time. I had a bag of Perlite for gardening which is lighter and is also good insulation on the bottom in it now, And have s kitchen sieve that fits . It's kind of small so I'll have to get something else,thanks for the tip and keep your powder dry. And away from the stove! I forgot to say that my stove also came with telescoping stove pipes, when collapsed they could thus be stored for transport inside of itself, Hot water tank side shelf a ' Spark arrestor' available in one neat package ( for a little more $) or separately as finances / need 👍
Thanks for watching Lewis
Very inspirational - I've got a 1000Kg pallet of pellets I bought earlier this year as a compact 'backup fuel' to my heating oil which was, at the time, 2.5x the price! I was going to install a homemade pellet stove but have since installed a large wood burning cooker/oven combo and was a bit miffed that I couldn't use the pellets - now I can, thank you! :)
I prefer to keep my ammo cans for actually storing ammo as they're quite expensive in Europe, even second hand ones.
I ordered some of those IKEA 'ORDNING' stainless steel kitchen utensil baskets that have holes already in them - They're round and hold less than an ammo can but I can fit 3 of them in my cooker, delivering a similar quantity and surface area of pellets. The stainless should hopefully last a while and having 1 - 3 baskets allows regulating the heat output. I'll report back after I've tested it.
Awesome hope it works good.Let me know how it turns out.
I bought a couple of bbq pans from Lidl, they work OK but the fire's so hot they glow red and distort.
Keep your pellets dry, in a shed or garage where moisture cant get them.
That works pretty slick. Your a crafty guy Jim. Take care
Thank you very much
That's a great low tech idea especially for someone that does not have welding equipment I replaced my wood stove door with a removable metal one and made a gravity feed pellet burner .I can get about 7 hours of burn time ,but I suspect it doesn't push out nere the BTU's per hour that yours does ,Good job, thanks for sharing
I saw a video of a gravity fed one that is a very good idea. Thanks for watching
Thank you for doing these, they do help people. Happy Holidays.
Welcome and thanks for watching
I use a commercial fryer basket with the handle cut off, works great and I have a couple to change out as I use them.
Awesome thanks for watching
This was pretty much what I was thinking as well!
Thank for your service, Wishing you a Merry Christmas from the UK
Thank you very much God bless hope you have a great day Merry Christmas
I converted an old woodstove into a pellet stone by cutting a feed tube and a vented burn basket and an air damper tube at the burn basket. That way, it draws air directly at the burn basket
Awesome wish I had you as a neighbor. Thanks for watching
I burn some pellets in my wood stove, I bought a 2 quart, stainless kitchen cauldron, lots of holes, burned great $5. I get good heat 2 hours off 4 coffee cup of wood pellets . Easy to remove to dump ash.
I think your box is sitting so close to your pipe exhaust that much het is going up your chimney. I burn mine near front door. Your last open burn gets more radiant heat to brick & steel surfaces.
My exhaust has a second burn on it so it does not go straight up the back of my stove. Thanks for watching
Thank you for your service. Great idea. 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
I've been burning pellets for a while.
You are right, pellets need a lot of air, BUT that is in a pellet burner.
REMEBER a pellet burner FEEDS the pellets as needed and uses air flow to fire the pellets to max heat
with a blower. They dont have a pile of pellets to burn so it over fires.
Burning pellets in a wood stove needs a burner box that can restrict the air to control the heat and burn.
On your burn box, I think you have way too many holes but you have an excellant tool to work with.
TRY THIS....
Wrap aluminum foil for test around the box to close off all those holes.
at the open ends of the angle iron, punch a hole in the aluminum foil to let air in.
fill the box, start the fire from the top, not the bottom.
try regulating your air into the box.
The top fire will get hot enough to start burning the gasses off of the wood.
YOU SHOULD be able to increase your burn time with decent heat as pellets easily get way too hot and
can over fire the wood stove.
Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching my videos. Hope all is well with you.
Thank you for your service and the video! Goona try this for my shop at work!
Did you see this video? th-cam.com/video/PP0R7MynFmM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you ! Have a great Christmas !
Welcome, thanks and you as well
Thanks for your service. great video. that really seems to work well. a real good draft might help it keep going better. a lot less mess than burning wood. i might have to build one......
Thanks for watching
Cool trick, I'm going to try this in my shed. It's -28C today.
I think I turned out good, stay warm. Thanks for watching
The Burn “top down” is a great concept.

I am curious as I watch this and read some of the comments ; has anybody tried mixing shell corn in with their pellets to help create a freer , cleaner burn ???
I tried burning corn in my pellet stove but I did not like it. If I had some good dried corn I would try. Maybe I will go buy a bucket. Thanks for watching
Thanks very helpful!
You're welcome!
Great test
Thanks
I think the 3rd way you show is best for me thanks
Your welcome thanks for watching
thanks for sharing!
Welcome
That is very interesting, I don't have a wood burner, but useful information if I did. If you stove had a way that you could push air in, especially with the box, I would think you could get some good heat that way.
I’m going to experiment burning without the ammo box again and see if I can burn slower.
Just an idea for raising the bottom up use 4 bolts one in each corner with 2 nuts each then you can adjust bottom height for good burn. I mean you already have the holes for stainless bolts and nuts
Thanks alot I will try this God bless
Thanks for watching hope it helps you
Thanks so much for this video
You are so welcome!
I have a wood burning barrel stove I was wanting to see how pellets would work in that stove I think I'm going to give that a try just to see what happens thank you very much
thanks for watching
Interestingly, I was just tinkering around with similar ideas this morning... then this pops up on TH-cam... go figure. Anyway, good variation on what I came up with. Thanks
Thanks for watching cliff
Thanks👍
Your welcome
That’s a spiffy picture of you in dress uniform brother! You and all the others that give and gave your life for our country is never forgotten , at least by those of us that are right upstairs- the other half about to jump off the left cliff I can not say that for. Our country is changing so rapidly for the worse but then again it is foretold in the book of revelation and we are seeing that right now come to pass….. God Bless !
Thank you, God is good we still need to never give up. fight and help each other. Stay safe my friend
Thank you for doing this video as I have been using a woodstove Blaze king for 17 years and always wondered can you use pellets without electricity as I hear it allot that pellet stoves have to have electricity I bought a pellet smoker BBQ that uses hard wood pellets so I have several bags of pellets in the garage I suspect in an emergency they could be used the same way
That is why I made this video in case of emergency. Thanks for watching
seema like a stainles fryer baset wpuld well too. nice work!
I’m sure it would thanks for watching
Thanks good information
Welcome
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
Looks like a good idea
thanks
thanks brother
Welcome
thanks 🙂
Welcome 😊
Try just holes in the Bottom of the can and like every half inch where you placed your top row around your can. This will burn hot then slow down for a bit while gas is building in the can then it will start burning the gas at the top again ( gasifier ). So you end up with 1 row around the top of the can and alot of holes in the bottom it will draw air from the bottom so supporting it with the angle iron like your doing anyway will help. Try doing this , you should not be burning a whole nights worth of pellets in just two hours this way. Also a stove flu heat exchanger ( or reclaimer ) would help with the temperatures your losing in the stove pipe.
Awesome thanks maybe I’ll try this
Can you send picture please ?
i want to make but i cant
New here, but shared to our sons and nephew
Awesome thank you for sharing
I appreciate you warning me to turn down the volume. God bless you!
Thanks for watching
Yes it has some good quality to burning pellets. Have some pellets home bless
Thanks for watching
Good video
Thanks and thanks for watching
Good idea brother
Hey my friend hope you have a awesome Christmas Day
Excellent video. Do you have an idea of the amount of ash and soot that pellets leave versus wood?
Sorry I do not, thanks for watching
Hi there!
Great clip and great explaining, thank you. I do wonder, at the end when you use only the angle steel. You say it´s warmer that way. Is it to warm considering risk for joists and other parts in a house that can catch fire??
Kindly/Urban
I don't think it was warmer than burning regular wood maybe I can make another video with wood vs pellets. Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing the amount of ash produced. My stove fills up with ash every single day-looking for something that burns with less ash so less cleaning.
Thanks for watching
Nice!
👍👍👍👊😎
Thanks
I've tried a basket style...now I'm trying a log style with hardware cloth and seems to work better...make many log style and can switch out when you have no wood
Thanks for watching
My experience is a metal container with holes at least 1 inch apart works much better than a fry wire type basket. The fire 🔥 as it begins to burn, draws air rapidly through the spread apart holes, and dissipated new flame into entire inside of mostly enclosed container. The extreme heat GASSIFIES THE fuel inside, and the air jets create great, dispersed combustion. Wire basket is about the same as a open wood fire, depending upon updraft only. The air jets really make a big difference
Thanks!
Welcome thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM You are the best, I'm glad you posted this video because you enlightened my mind! And the way you described it all makes a sense! Thank You!
@@ciprianvasilica thanks for the super thanks.
I think I'm going to make a basket based on the rocket stove design. Most of the videos I've seen are just baskets with holes all around but I think they would work better if it created a chimney effect like a rocket stove.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching
We can definitely use the regular wood stove method for pellets
I did it just to see how they would burn. Regular hard wood burns longer in my stove. Watch the other video of me burning pellets
th-cam.com/video/PP0R7MynFmM/w-d-xo.html
I have a Buck wood stove modle20 can I burn pellets in it this way thanks goog job.
I have a new video that comes on today at 6:15 you will have to watch it. I can not tell you that you could definitely burn pellets in your stove. Maybe you could just try it. Thanks for watching my video
Will pellets burned this way in a wood stove, last longer than a similar volume of firewood?
Regular good dry hard wood will last longer.
@@DIYJIM ok thank you. Looking for a way to extend the burn overnight, and I think my only option will be to buy a bigger stove.
So about how long did the fire last when you just threw pellets directly into the stove. Even though the ammo can did not produce the same amount of heat- i would imagine that it would last longer? Thanks for the video
I think I have to experiment more with just throwing them in close my dampers but I guess not much longer unless I can slow the burn down a lot. I think I am going to try it again. Thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM the best scenario if you had to use the ammo cans to get like 2 hours of heat is to have 2 cans all loaded up and flip them when one burns out- you can also put some gel firestarter on the pellets but it seems the hand sanitizer works pretty good.
Good idea, I was going to use gel fire starter I have some but I could not find
Looks great you have a lot off smoke outside ?
I don’t think so, I don’t think I ever looked.
We used to have a pellet stove with a fan but when power would go out due to a storm, etc. the fan wouldn't work and the stove didn't heat the house very well. How well does this heat the house? Even when we had the fan it didn't heat the house very well when really cold outside. We ended up getting an insert for burning wood in our fireplace, keeps the house toasty.
th-cam.com/video/PP0R7MynFmM/w-d-xo.html You should watch this video. Pellets definitely make some heat in a wood stove but I think burning normal good dry hard wood last longer. Thanks for watching
Where I live pellets have tripled in price so their not really interesting anymore. Firewood and coal also got more expensive but not as much.
Everything is tripling in price and the rumor is it is going to get worse. Thanks for watching
Hi, my quarter inch baffle plane keeps warping so i bent it flat again. Is it safe to weld another quarter inch steel plate on top or bottom to reinforce it? and should it be on top or bottom? thanks
Sorry hard to say I would have to see it in person. Hope you get it figured out. Thanks for watching
Even a large metal can with holes on the bottom a d side w legs from the kids folded over on the bottomed would work.
Agree thanks for watching
Sounds crazy but if you watch closely pellets will burn from top down as long as you have plenty of air flow more holes in the basket
Thanks for watching and for some of the ideas.
Dont know if you are still monitor this on here, but you didnt say how long those pellets burned in the ammo can or inside . I got a wood stove similar to yours. May just try to burn inside only. Hope this works ok. At least I do have an alternative fuel source. Im a Vet too.
Sorry I don’t remember, thanks for watching
Very informative; enjoyed this. Thank you
Thanks for watching Bret
How long did the same amount of pellets burn without the ammo can? I see it's 3x hotter. I was figuring 30- 45 min as a guess.
I do not remember but I think it was close to what you said maybe 1 hour. Thanks for watching
👍
Thanks for watching
I would think it could work better with a stove with secondary burn?
They definitely burn better with more air. Thanks for watching
Do you have any ideas on using pellets in a rocket stove?
Not really, I was just watching some videos on the liberator rocket stove. Check it out it looks pretty cool or should I say hot.
I'm impressed and I don't have a wood stove.
I thought it was neat now I know how to burn pellets in my wood stove. Hope all is well with you Debra
From 😂the Netherlands
Awesome I want to visit thanks for watching
In the end the Ammo container just seemed like a waste of time. Just toss em in there and start it up. Unless you plan to do some welding and cut a whole on the side where you can fill wood pellets into and setup some thin steel bars at the bottom to setup pellet feeder on the outside as alternative of some sort. Probably stick with wood on that one. Good little steel stove there. I probably wouldn't modify it for pellets.
Thanks for watching
Seams like a colinder wood work but would probably melt if they are aluminum.
Thanks for watching
Have you check out my woodstove to pellet stove conversion?
th-cam.com/video/a8M513Pvut0/w-d-xo.html
I’ll check it out thanks for watching my video
I have actually watched your video before. That is a really cool build, wish you were my neighbor, or lived near me.
👍❤️👍
Thanks for watching
Does it get as hot as burning wood?
100% just does not burn as long.
And I bet if you didn't use the angle inserts it will still burn good but longer
What size drill bit? Looks like 1/4”… isn’t that too big? Won’t the pellets fall through?
Just use a drill bit size that is not bigger than the pellets. You can always add more if needed. Thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM I actually found a better way to burn pellets. After watching your entire video, I realized they burn hotter without the ammo box. So looking around my property, I found the post from a stop sign my kids must have brought home when they were teenagers. 2-1/2”X 2-1/2”X 1/8” galvanized square tube with 5/16” holes every 2”. I cut a piece the about 2” short of the inner width of my stove. Pile the pellets to the back of the stove, place the tube about 1-1/2” from the front of the stove widthwise, and leaving the door opened just a crack. The trick is lighting it, and I’m currently working on the best way to do that, but once you get it going, the air flowing through the tube actually causes jets of flame to shoot through the holes even while the pellets are no where near the tube. Pretty awesome, and should come in handy when wood is scarce. Thank you for the idea.
just like I did in this videoth-cam.com/video/PP0R7MynFmM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KxSoxG46qa2HLca7
I went to harbor freight and purchased a plastic ammo box. Didn't work to well
Lol
Does he mean 1/4" inch bolts, which would a take a 7/16" wrench
I think that was what I used. It could be done different ways.
Sounds like it would work in a pinch but it will not give you even close to the heat wood will . Pellets are getting expensive now especially with the 24% inflation . Good for a last resort or you dont require a lot of heat .
I 100% agree I just thought I would see how the pellets would burn. Just in case
why not close your pipe damper to save heat?
I did eventually thanks for watching. Did you see my new on?
I dont understand why you couldn't just throw pellets in with wood. As long as you didn't let it get too hot what would be the harm?
I guess you could, thanks for watching
I have a hookup with free bags of pellets. Could maybe press them into bricks.
Maybe let me know if it works
What kinda press are ya thinkin of using
Your damper will slow down the burn.
Agree thanks for watching
So even the REMF guys have some use, huh?
Just kidding;)
Thanks for watching

Reply if want to great. I have concluded wood stove has 100x more potential than it is currently doing, Eienstein Darwin shift towards tech advancement. Have something going on here with these wood stoves. I was looking at these designs and just by thinking about it i have concluded it is not not not good enough to be losing 80-90% of the heat out the chimney normally on a wood stove, shucks maybe on anything furnace or oil natural gas burner. The simplest way to describe simple solution to this problem is air to air heat exchanger. I have looked up a bit on these, my imagination of this design would be installing air to air heat exchaner inside the stove very close to the hottest part of the stove. Then can harvest much more heat, 100x more heat potential from the same amount of fuel changing the world forever. I think if you put in rectrangular tubes with car radiator fins inside them to get really hot then, send clean air through these rectangular tubes it would be blasting 100x more hot air from the stove. and the second part of the problem is harvesting and scavenging all the wasted heat from the chimney, need to figure out air to air heat exchangers inside the chimney that wouldn't cause too many problems.
You should make a video of this build I would like to see it.
I don't have a you tube channel that i make videos on. I think that would be fun thing to do. I really would like to patent my idea and sell these stoves, and make money on TH-cam. If i had to pick on selling stoves for patent that are 100x heat efficient and less polution, i would rather give them away for free, in the mean time i have switched over to using clothes lines to dry my clothes out 24/7/365. Clothes lines to dry clothes is the best way for me and probably cheaper than any other way. I am always thinking about this.@@DIYJIM
throw the amo can away now take some square or round pipe cut a hole on the side of the stove stick the pipe on an angle into the stove build a square type of funnel on top with a sealed lid fill it with wood pellets and chips add some more in the stove also weld a smaller pipe on the side of the funnel going to the flue for smoke to escape when it becomes empty enjoy the fire for hours and hours , you have built a self feeding stove , i have built a bunch also built a rocket stove that burns at 850f wood chips (less heat) or pellets or mixed (same heat) from a junk oil burning hot water heater because it has a 3inch flue perfect for a rocket stove the fire box is at the bottom a square 2x4 pipe welded to the flue the fire goes up through it at the top the heater was cut open to cut the flue shorter and a lid was welded on top it forces the exhaust down to the bottom of the cylinder and out a 4 inch pipe it makes amazing heat
Wish you were my neighbor thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM ahahah thanks
