Glad it helped. Sometimes we will throw wood in towards the end of the pellet burn to stay out a little longer. Pellets are still my favorite for how they burn.
I get about an hour to an hour 15 with one bundle of kiln dried fire wood at about $6-$8 a bundle. Thanks for the video. Pellets as an option is nice to have.
I've seen others post that it is not safe to burn fuel pellets. As they burn off chemicals and you for d breathe them in and you can't cook food/roast marshmellows due to chemicals... please confirm
I would not cook over fuel pellets. As far as smell, it isn't noticeable and goes pretty much straight up. I just enjoy the way they burn. You can buy pellets for cooking over. They come in smaller bags and cost twice as much. Maybe ask how they are made vs fuel?
Tractor supply. If in northern states you can go to a stove place, Home Depot or Lowes. Usually around $7.00 per 40lb bag. Don't get the grilling hardwood. They are $12 per 20lb bag. These are just heating/fuel.
I don't add that much all at once. I start with about 1/3 of a bag and then keep adding 1/3 bag...lasts about 2 1/2 hours. $6.60 for a 40 lb bag. Much cheaper than firewood at campgrounds where a small bundle is $5 that lasts an hour. Plus less messy than firewood.
Given he got 1 hr 45 mins with 30lbs all at once, his test compared to your output proves that over time is not key. It only gained you 4 extra mins per lb. He has saved a lot of people the hassle, and risk of adding pellets during the burn
Thanks for the video. Provided clarity on how much use out of a bag of pellets.

It did really well, and we saw where it went. :)

Nice video. Debating between this or a pellet patio heater. This seems much less efficient than the patio heater, but the fire isn’t behind glass.
If looking for heat the solo stove has most heat rising. But i love the dancing secondary burn.
Do you need to buy the pellet adapter for this?
Yes or make your own.
The Costco bundle comes with the adapter. At least the one at my local Costco.
Here is what i bought and cut to fit.

I use about 2lbs with a combination of wood. Makes a great low smoke fire. Pellets butn to hot and fast for me just to burn pellets

@walleyewiz1308 As with any fire pit, you're to burn in a well ventilated environment. You'll be fine. Do what you feel comfortable with.
Where did you get the pellets?

Curious on when and how you add the second 1/3 of a bag. If i add to much it smokes like crazy....
From what I understand, you stir it up to get it smoking like crazy and then you relight the smoke @@jimhorrocks6473
The Smoke it gives off when it does that is highly flammable
Don't wait until the fire subsides a bit. Add gradually over time. In my experience over time is key.
