I think the pellets compact as they burn and prevent the rest from catching fire. Great video. I resuse my oil by allowing it to settle, strain it and burn it in my small Yanmar Diesel tractor mix it at least 50/50 with diesel fuel. Smells like fried chicken but it gets the most out of my purchase.
Suggestion, save dryer lint from dryer and it makes perfect fire starter material. Pull some of the lint from a coffee can, stretch it out thin, place in with wood sticks and light with a fire place lighter and lint burns slow enough that it will ignite sticks with no problem. Re purpose for the lint from dryer that comes in handy for fire starting.
I love it. You rock Jnull0. You are so right people always want to criticize but hey they aren't doing this and you are. Love your sister too! Judging from your weather you must not live in Canada lol. Keep you your great sense of humor and these videos.
Great video John....I just got my Silver Fire Rocket Stove in and it's still in the box....Looking forward to using it....I bought it because of your good reviews of it...I know it will be a great addition to our preps....I think this Silver Fire Hunter that you are using will be the next stove I get....Thanks John and God Bless You and Family....
I always watch your channel all the time and I think you are an awesome dad, and overall good person, just keep it up what your doing, you are an inspiration to many, may God bless you and your family! God willing I will start making videos, I only have two up ( I was shy), but I'm inspired to do cooking videos, so thank you sir (lol)... god bless.
AWESOME JOB BRO! It's great to be able to use that stove with free bio material you find in the yard. I'm gonna put up a vid soon with mine. Thanks for sharing.
Guess can't complain,those pellets did decent for the price....we need jnull on mountain monsters..yall get out of the way,,that sombeach is going on the menu wall :)))
hey man, looks great, just a side note, maybe put oil in pan before put on stove hate to see that big jug slip or knock pan off and oil hit flames and a big oil flash up. stay safe prepare
Damn it man! Now I'm over here with my mouth watering and having to clean up drool off my keyboard! LOL That looks AWESOME man! ROCK ON DUDE! Oh yea I LOL'd at the "I ♥ Dickies" thing! Hahaha
them stoves are great mate. I am thinking really hard about importing one for myself. would be great to use at our retreat. Love the apron mate. again good video J :) keep well brother
Great video. How risky is using oil like this...with the flames right below? If some oil spills down there, could it create a dangerous fire? Could the flames flare up and set your whole wok full of oil on fire?
I am buying the Hunter stove soon. But I have a question; How much soot and creosote is formed at the bottom of the pan or wok? I am still buying the stove, but it would be nice to see. Maybe a video about that? Thanks and God Bless....
The oil does not burn. The flour burns. Strain your used oil through cheese cloth and get a few more batches out of it. I am sure there are conditions that could burn the oil, but not in a chicken-frying scenario. Otherwise, good job cooking and good luck.
Could you use the left over oil for something else even if that can not be used for cooking again?? Could it be reused as Bio diesel fuel or for another source? Just trying to help in not being wasteful and get multiple uses. Just a thought!
Isopropyl alcohol isn't exactly a "food safe" accelerant. What you want is Everclear or something along those lines. However, unless you're grilling directly on the open flame, it shouldn't matter.
possibly the ash in the tray is not dropping down the holes and it is limiting the Air flow for the 3 cups that was added. can the tray hole size be drilled out larger?
New to your channel. Do you eat beans and dumplings and left over beans and make bean patties, cornbread with milk together. Or is it a Kentucky thing. My dad is from Kentucky.
I prefer to buy in bulk. Saves time and money most of the time. :) I wish I had some of those cook stoves that you have. Maybe some day I will have the extra money to buy them, but until then, I just have to use the inside stove or the grill.
I'm jealous of your new outdoor kitchen! just wish I could talk homeowners association into letting me build one. chicken looks so good!!! Dickies - LOL can you stir or shake up the pellets from the bottom air vent?

hello john, i'm another ohio dude as well. i like your vids. funny stuff at times, even the goats are laughing at you, i mean with you. i just sub'd your channel. good stuff.
great upload bro, thanks !!! looks like u got a hair cut ? whats the difference that you notice between sticks and that bedding ? do u find the sticks burn faster ? i would think they would, unless you chop the sticks to small lighter size and then fill the stove. could you add like a chicken wire mesh cup, to the bottom of the stove, preventing the clog.? what i mean is, like take some chicken wire mesh, bend the sides down so it sets up right in the bottom, and use that as a base, to put the pellets on, that way, the ash falls through the mesh, but doesnt clog up at the bottom ?
Great video, that stove is great, I hope this isn't a stupid question , but why does it have a chimney ? Is it part of the gasifyer system ? Also does it seem like it is durable ? How is it holding up ? I love your channel , you are like a reincarnation of my uncle Cobb.
+bushbaby 1 The chimney is there so the stove can vent while the cooking pot is on top. I have been using it for a couple of years and it is very durable, it is often left in the weather and is holding up great. I really like it....................J
I've watched just about all your vids and seen you cook all kinds of meat and poultry, along with side dishes, breads, rolls, some sweet stuff, but never seen you do any kind of fish. Do you fish and/or cook fish?
when you switched out your oil that was used up and burned, do you have a use for that? Is there anything you can do that will be a positive use for your exhausted cooking oil on your homestead?
Bbfishman I keep some of it to put on newspaper in the winter time to help get our fire going. It burns slow on the paper and really helps get a good fire going to heat up the house..............................J
+j johns for omnivores or carnivores like chickens, pigs, and dogs it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure it's used more as a feed supplement, than a base.
a Fresnel lens can cook all your foods needs in winter or summer depending on if the sun is shinning. a must have in off grid because you can boil water with this. also to heat your home if lens is big enough. all it is, is a coiled copper pipe sandwiched in between to two iron plates. the Fresnel lens sunlight is magnified on the iron plate that heats the copper pipe inside the pipe is water that heats up and hot water goes out in one side of pipe while cold water circulates back in to heat up and it constantly circulates hot water in pipes that heats the home. TOTALLY FREE. except the cost to set it up in your home. Heck , the apartment building I live in uses a boiler to heat water to heat the building. a Fresnel lens will do this. GARENTEED. be careful with these lenses, if focused to much, it can melt iron.
While I appreciate knowing that you can burn the pellets as well, I thought the whole idea was doing this at the biggest cost savings possible -- i.e. free sticks in the woods? That bag is $6.99. I guess keep it for when the weather makes it hard to find dry wood? Not trying to be critical, just wondering why you would use pellets you have to buy?
I have a friend who lives in town and doesn't have a yard. They were asking about alternative fuels so they could cook on their balcony when their power is out. I was just trying to give them some ideas...............................J
Oh, okay! (smacks head) I guess living in the country I forget about city folks! :) I haven't lived in an apartment or a place without a yard in so long I wouldn't know how to act. Thanks!
What ever you do don't let someone talk you into putting corn in it. Corn makes a mess and burns to the sides, cast iron is the only thing that cleans easy after corn burn....

I just found & subscribed to your channel tonight! I'm married to "just another dude", too! He loves cooking outside too! God bless you brother!
Love your video......just started watching last week......you lift my spirits john....thank you. God Bless you.

Very impressed with gasifier stove. Chicken looks awesome too. Thanks for the video!
You are making us hungry John! Cool idea about using the bedding as fuel.
Lovin' these stoves...... And, you do such a great job at explaining how they work. Saving up to buy one!
Hey John,thats pretty good bro.that stove is something else.thank you take care my friend
Thank you Jnull. I have a hunter and I ran out and got some pellets will be stocking up God bless !!
AWESOME JOB BRO! It's great to be able to use that stove with free bio material you find in the yard. I'm gonna put up a vid soon with mine. Thanks for sharing.
Good lookin chicken John and thanks for letting us in on the pellets, just mix them half and half with sticks in this stove, gotcha!
Good stuff, as usual. I appreciate your videos. Thanks for sharing.
LOL! YOU MAKE COOKING FUN. Great background too
Guess can't complain,those pellets did decent for the price....we need jnull on mountain monsters..yall get out of the way,,that sombeach is going on the menu wall :)))
GO BRO! Hell yes. Thank you for posting this.
hey man, looks great, just a side note, maybe put oil in pan before put on stove hate to see that big jug slip or knock pan off and oil hit flames and a big oil flash up.
stay safe prepare
Your sister is awesome, love the apron!
Damn it man! Now I'm over here with my mouth watering and having to clean up drool off my keyboard! LOL That looks AWESOME man! ROCK ON DUDE! Oh yea I LOL'd at the "I ♥ Dickies" thing! Hahaha
great ideas John
Dude, your awesome! I love you and Bev!
wow, do that again. lol. Your outdoors kitchen seems to be working great. Good job.
John, since you do such a good job of reusing things on your homestead, what do you do with your used cooking oil?
I burn it in my diesel tractor.
Damn, I have a powerful craving for some fried chicken! That looks good!
nice wok looks like good quality, great video as usual
I love that apron that mis volfie sent ya , and it was a great video
That chicken is making me hungry--it sure looks good!
great apron!!! that looks good, great video
Very cool tip about the horse bedding
them stoves are great mate. I am thinking really hard about importing one for myself. would be great to use at our retreat. Love the apron mate. again good video J :) keep well brother
Great video. How risky is using oil like this...with the flames right below? If some oil spills down there, could it create a dangerous fire? Could the flames flare up and set your whole wok full of oil on fire?
with all the other things you make from scrap and upcycling, did silver fire send you the biomass stove to demonstrate or did you buy it?
You remind me of john goodman in Rosanne !!
Big Buck Bunny
I am buying the Hunter stove soon. But I have a question; How much soot and creosote is formed at the bottom of the pan or wok? I am still buying the stove, but it would be nice to see. Maybe a video about that? Thanks and God Bless....

You are awesome and you can cook.
Use hard wood pellets an you woont have those problems great video
You remind me of my high school. Friend Angel.
Could you use the left over oil for something else even if that can not be used for cooking again?? Could it be reused as Bio diesel fuel or for another source? Just trying to help in not being wasteful and get multiple uses. Just a thought!
Getting me that stove right now!
Look good chicken. How do you make that grill metal box?
Isopropyl alcohol isn't exactly a "food safe" accelerant. What you want is Everclear or something along those lines. However, unless you're grilling directly on the open flame, it shouldn't matter.
awesome video thanks for sharing
I wonder if the hardwood pellets would work better
possibly the ash in the tray is not dropping down the holes and it is limiting the Air flow for the 3 cups that was added. can the tray hole size be drilled out larger?
do you save your oil to use in a oil burning lamp like the one you made with the coffee can and rag ?
Your the best.
so doen home and more intelligent then current college professors
just subbed to your channel..off the grid cooking
New to your channel. Do you eat beans and dumplings and left over beans and make bean patties, cornbread with milk together. Or is it a Kentucky thing. My dad is from Kentucky.
I wonder how wood pellets for a pellet stove would work compared to the bedding pellets....
Woot, keep it up champ :)
You can try cat litter called paper pellets. They are suppose to burn well.
Hey John are the horse pellets cheaper then regular pellets ? or do they burn better ?
dern it's been too long since I made fried chicken. Looks great bro
Cool idea dude thanks
I prefer to buy in bulk. Saves time and money most of the time. :) I wish I had some of those cook stoves that you have. Maybe some day I will have the extra money to buy them, but until then, I just have to use the inside stove or the grill.
Awful lot of ash from those wood pellets, could you do a comparison of equal weight pellets and sticks and see about ash? Thanks
Hey bud that first batch you fried doesn't like it will fill up a big man like you !! LOL!!
I'm jealous of your new outdoor kitchen! just wish I could talk homeowners association into letting me build one. chicken looks so good!!! Dickies - LOL

What is the best stove to buy and where do I buy it....please & thank you
makin me hungry John!
great upload bro, thanks !!!

Your videos awesome ! Please come back 😢

You can mod old diesel engines to run off used veggie oil. So free gas. Bio-diesel is slightly different but related, I think
WOO-HOO...Home fried Chicken nuggets...Wok & Roll...LOL
Maybe you could strain the oil and make soap, or there are people that get used oil from restaurants and make it into fuel for their vehicles.
I have heard of that..it is called biodiesel!
If you can find hardwood (stove) pellets they won't breakdown like the soft pine horse bedding. Great video. Thanks.
Looks yummy

wow... at 4:58 that goat just disappeared... o.0
Wok n roll... with it clogging the lower vent holes how about opening the front to say 5:30 position for a little airflow. neat stove though.
Do you have a horse or a neighbor have one? I know I heard a horse nicker (as if on cue) near the end of your vid.
So, where did you get that stove?
pretty cool
How do you clean out your stove?
sam's club is a great place to shop

What will you use the used cooking oil for? I know you waste nothing.
If you soak the pellets in denatured alcohol, or yellow bottle heet there will be no soot.
Yum!
I had to go back to this video because I wanted to order a stove like this but couldn't remember then name.
You should save your oil and make biodiesel out of it,then you can use the biodiesel to run your emergency generator.
A wobbling wok, surely not...
great video we gotta get you a wind filter for all that noise +1 and Sub'ed
Mixing the bio fuel as you say, that will work great.
