I like the bottom plate but this is a serious disappointment. Pellets are dense and a good way to get pellets to burn more efficiently would be to have a tube that takes up space in the center of the fire pit and move pellets closer to the outer edge.
I didn't make it lol! We love it and find it burns so much cleaner and hotter. it's also so much easier for me vs lugging around wood. Sounds like you have a great idea, you should make that and sell it, it would do well!
@heatherroseblog sorry, I was referring to the other post about needing a tube for placement and better burn. I just ordered our pellet adapter and heat deflector, can't wait to give them a try.
How was the smoke level with this? I have used wood sometimes and depending on the wood I see a lot of smoke So i am looking for options for less smoke. Pallets might be it.
I didn’t even see any. I’m super sensitive to smoke and it usually makes my allergies go crazy and I had no issues at all after using the pellets so I’m sticking with these going forward!
I am no expert but with that few pellets I am going to guess somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes. I think in that sized container 30 lb of pellets would get around 1.5 hours of burn time.

You are supposed to keep the ring on, the heat defector goes over the ring

Couldn't you just position the pellets in a circular pattern, leaving the center empty?
@@tg5538 you can place them however you want

Barely any and longer more determined burn times plus you can mix em
Plus you can get usda approved pellets so you know it’s safe to cook with just don’t use a fire starter with wax or tars
Where did you get the round shelf that is around it? And what size is the solo?
How long do pellets burn verses regular wood?
a 40 lb bag last about 2 hours 15 mins. I buy 40 lb bag at Menards for 4.00
Is the pellet adapter the thing on top? What's is used for?
It’s actually inside the fire pit. The thing on top is a heat deflector
@@heatherroseblog I'll figure it out, thank you.

Yeah I was gonna say my small one runs for 30-40 mins so that sound about right with it being a lot bigger I’d say 1hr to 1hr 40 mins
With like a a cup lasting 12 mins
