With the proper burner, you don't need a fan to burn pellets. I've been using my homemade pellet burner for months now without a problem. My stove has a 4" tube running thru the loading door, with a burner basket inside of it. the pellet gravity feed thru a 3" square tube to the burner and the natural draft of the chimney sucks air thru the tube, burning the pellets. The stove runs easily up to 600+ degrees (if I let it) but I run it around 300-350 degrees to heat the house. It's running right now! The hardest part of making it was making a burn basket that would burn the pellets slow enough, but yet efficiently, and I did it. The burner basket is made out of stainless steel rods (1/4") about 5" long and is up on legs to let 1/2" gap of air to pass under it to burn the pellets and blow the ash out into the stove. I copied the idea from the Riley camp stove with the pellet feed attachment on it. It works so well, I'm surprised nobody else has tried on their wood stove.
+Painter D Hi there, thanks for commenting! I would like to see what you have done, I am interested in building it! This burner was my first attempt, i have build another one from scratch, hardware and electronics was all done by me!
Nice burner you made,i dont know about electronic so i made burner and feeder without electronic control,everything works mechanically,i also burn woodchip i made at home so i dont need to buy pellets
Βασίλη εξαιρετικη δουλεια ΜΠΡΑΒΟ!! εχεις παρουσιασει καπου αναλυτικα την ολη κατασκευη θελω να κανω και εγω κατι τετοιο και θα με βοηθησαν οι ιδεες σου
your a genius in my books. great job. I have a wvo setup and want to do the same thing for it. your control board is the only thing that would make it totally animated like thermostaticly controlled. can you adjust the time and duration of your on off settings...is there a cool down timer for when there is no call for heat... (just a draft fan) I can show you how I can make wvo burn blue (no smoke)
Hello Dennis and thanks for your nice comments, this setup in no longer used, as far I can remember, when it reached the desired temperature it would stop supplying pellets to the burner, until there were no more flame in the chamber, that would result in to ba temperature drop, if the thermostat was asking for more heat it would start a fresh cycle, order wise it would stay off, I am using an arduino atm. Stay tuned I have a project coming soon.
Vasilis Karastergios I mean ....the flame of your system is deeded by gas produced by pellets , syngas , or you burn the pellets with oxigne like normally ?
Walter P how toburn syngas? yesterday we made a small exp. we produced lots of syngas but it couldnt burn. so weend up with lots of smoke angry neighbours thats it:(
Yes as soon it's complete, the schematic will be uploaded here, i have added some extra functions to the design, quite simple and reliable, its running until now with no problems at all!
Walter P Hi Walter, I was thinking of the arduino myself, it's cheap and reliable for the intended purpose, Hopefully until winter arrives I will get some basic coding experience or have somebody else do it for me!
Thanks, electronics is the most difficult part of the project, you have to be able yourself to read the schematic and know how all the electronic parts are connected to each other, i suggest you do a little reading before attempting anything with electricity!
Hi there, i estimate it around to 15-20Kw, it didn't cost me much, around 300$ the most, not for sale it's for my personal use, my intention here is to inspire people to build it on their own, this video is mostly about the controller board which has been tested and working properly, thanks for the interest anyways!
Hi Vasillis, Great job!!! I read all posts from homemadecircuitsandschematics.blogspot.com/2013/04/programmable-timer-controller-circuit.html, and original design of circuit has changed. Is there a circuit with a new design for the finished project? Thanks in advance Sladjan V

εχεις παρουσιασει καπου αναλυτικα την ολη κατασκευη θελω να κανω και εγω κατι τετοιο και θα με βοηθησαν οι ιδεες σου
Ευχαριστω πολυ στεφανε, το σχεδιο τις πλακετας ειναι ελλειπες, μολις τελειωσει ολη η κατασκευη θα μπει εδω στο καναλι μου!
interesting little machine u got there...
your a genius in my books.

Espectacular amigo .el circuito electrónico donde lo consigues y aque precio .gracias
Thank you amigo 🙏
do you produce syngas by pirolisys and you burn it ? Nice project , very good !
Walter P Thanks for your comment! Nope, nothing like that, the burner is just heating up a water boiler for a radiator based system!
Vasilis Karastergios I mean ....the flame of your system is deeded by gas produced by pellets , syngas , or you burn the pellets with oxigne like normally ?
Walter P A normal fire, simple as it sounds!
Walter P how toburn syngas? yesterday we made a small exp. we produced lots of syngas but it couldnt burn. so weend up with lots of smoke angry neighbours thats it:(
I see a lot of wood gas coming out of their...if you turn back the heat to make it smolder you could use the wood gas to run a motor or generator...
Great job, would you make another regulation and send the package
Yes as soon it's complete, the schematic will be uploaded here, i have added some extra functions to the design, quite simple and reliable, its running until now with no problems at all!
for the electronic part you can use a microcontroller , maybe an arduino to drive the motor speed , get temperature and else ...
Walter P Hi Walter, I was thinking of the arduino myself, it's cheap and reliable for the intended purpose, Hopefully until winter arrives I will get some basic coding experience or have somebody else do it for me!
Walter P Thanks for the link, I will pay you a visit as well!!
Vasilis Karastergios ahahaah i don't want your money ....for me is enaough to do something
Walter P I meant to visit your channel on youtube.
ok ahahah thank you !
I will be very grateful
Amazing
realy is a good work, can yuo explain to me how to made electronic control part please
Tanks a lot
Thanks, electronics is the most difficult part of the project, you have to be able yourself to read the schematic and know how all the electronic parts are connected to each other, i suggest you do a little reading before attempting anything with electricity!
what is the power of, how much does it cost and how can I order it?
Hi there, i estimate it around to 15-20Kw, it didn't cost me much, around 300$ the most, not for sale it's for my personal use, my intention here is to inspire people to build it on their own, this video is mostly about the controller board which has been tested and working properly, thanks for the interest anyways!
please send me an email with the schematics that already works, which have used it here
By what sensor you use for fuel
Hello, i am using a photocell to detect light(LDR)!
hello...how much it cost all insalation to built for me? i pay you to make me one..
I appreciate it much, but i don't have enough time for my self!
Hi Vasillis,
Great job!!!
I read all posts from homemadecircuitsandschematics.blogspot.com/2013/04/programmable-timer-controller-circuit.html, and original design of circuit has changed.
Is there a circuit with a new design for the finished project?
Thanks in advance
Sladjan V
Hi Sladjan
Thank you, i am still adding extra functions to the design, as soon it's ready it will be uploaded here!
to much heat for smoking meat

+saldukas1 Your burner looks good! I don't understand please, write in english!
