You need larger holes in the basket for the burnt pellets to fall thru. 5/16 is a good average. Nice design.

Ahh thank you!!! I will write that down in my notes, I plan on doing a follow up improvement and design of the Pellet Stove, Please Subscribe if you haven't yet

'....wow!, not bad - saved it just in the nick of time....' ha ha ha. That pizza cooked up great there man - maybe next time you will have all that paint burned off so you can actually eat it....lol. I love that stove !!! Really enjoyed this vid. Makes me want to perhaps modify my hot tent stove to have a gravity fed pellet option - shouldn't be that difficult. I have always had the best performance when heating up water when using my camp cup when I cover it with a pot lid or a doubled or tripled over piece of tin foil to trap the heat and it usually comes to a rolling boil in 10 - 15 mins or so - especially with the temps you were hitting there early on with the cook surface... kettle would be good too. Catching up on vids here - I see you have another one on the stove - will be watching that soon. Happy New Year.

Happy new year! Yeah I thought since the ceiling of the oven was raw metal and I did a few burns in it, I had the paint cooked off. Yeah not so much. Thinking of ways to prevent pellet jams. One for sure idea is I need to fill in the adapter pipe that holds the pellet cage. I left a gap between feeder tube and adapter tube. I am going to fill with JB Weld so it has a natural cone instead of a shelf. Yeah a cover is a great idea for my cup as well. I though with high temps it wouldn’t matter but it does. Yeah I condensed my pellet stove build down from 4 part series and like 1 hour down to 13min and narrated. I like this format a lot. Not as long and boring. I do like my detail and comments but need to keep it entertaining.

The coffee cup is a double wall cup, insulated. You should be using a single wall cup, like a canteen cup etc.

[@Jeep-Creep]

Great catch! Yeah it’s so thin I didn’t even realize that.

I have to ask, now that you’ve had this stove for a while, how often you have to replace the fuel if you Set the draft down low for slow burn just before going to bed at night in the tent? I understand that having the dropped off Jay for purposes of cooking and baking, but I’m wondering what to expect when just keeping a tent, warm enough to get through a night, so that person doesn’t have to drag too much gear into the woods. Thanks for the nice video. I sure look forward to hearing back about your experience on this.

[@Jeep-Creep]

Well firstly I want to caution use of a stove like this in a tent. You really want a hot tent that has a hole for an exhaust pipe and I should be drawing fresh air in. So results. I am getting with current configuration around 6 hours easily. The only issue I am running into is the flame cage jamming a bit causing the burn to nearly smolder out when I have it down to a draft. It’s less vacuum to make the cherries glow with draft down. So every few hours I find myself poking it to keep the fuel moving. It’s works pretty good though. Getting really if I’m careful about 6 hours usually unattended. I am still thinking of ways to improve my gravity feed system to work without adding complexity or size to the build. I have been thinking of putting on a thermoelectric plate and devising an ultra slow moving drill feeder. I don’t know. It hasn’t been a priority. Please Subscribe if you haven’t. I will be readdressing this stove again.

@@Jeep-Creep : No worries there; It wouldn’t even occur to me not to have those things done with the tent before trying this, or they have not done a fair amount of experimentation during the day, before running one of these at night. It’s very kind of you to make sure that I’ve heard that. Thank you. Now you’re talking about what I suspected would be the issue. I used to be in the army, and am comfortable with and prepared for sleeping under arctic conditions; I have been living below the tree line for some time, and have gotten a bit spoiled with a hammock. But the last few times I slept outside, there wasn’t always the luxury of trees. So I’ve been rethinking the whole tent idea. Which means I’ve got to deal with the ground. It was always my least favourite thing about camping in February. So designing a stove started to look pretty appealing. But not without seeing what everybody else had done, and learning from people who have already put in so much of the hard work, if not all of it. Like yourself. thank you for putting your ideas forward like you have. The only flaw that i have noticed from a functional perspective with your system, is the pellets getting jammed, resulting in the fire going low, so I’m glad to hear that that’s what you found as well. A slow moving mechanism on the hopper or chute, was also in my mind. So there are a few ideas to do with that, that are rattling around in the back of my mind right now too; I like your thermoelectric idea. The first thing from my mind was that I have one of those fire chargers, that essentially has the charger reservoir filled with water, and then the bottom part of the charger underneath the hopper either touches a hot surface or has a flame underneath it. It’s possible to charge a cell phone or something small like that using a USB cable. And then I have one of those small paint cans style stoves that has a generator attached to it. The fire in the can essentially charges the generator that clips onto the side with a probe sticking into the fire from the outside through the can. The generator box, both blows on the fire to stoke it from time to time, using the settings, and it also charges up the generator battery. The battery itself is fairly small, and can charge something like a cell phone multiple times using the USB port, runs a small USB lamp, and is also able to be charged for using a normal wall outlet. For portable power. so, of course, the two things that run through anybody’s mind logically speaking, With the first fire charger, I mentioned, would be that with a larger hopper, and a Lid that’s shaped a little bit like a Tunisian terrine lid could reduce evaporation to reclaim water as it evaporates from the Reservoir, so that it would not stop producing electricity, because it boils dry during the night, might be one option; and another option could be to have the hopper run off the avails the electronic type fire charger battery. it seems to me that something mechanical might not be bad if you didn’t have to lug the apparatus very far, but that could make the whole set up a little heavy if there was much carrying to be done over much distance, such as during a hiking trip. then, of course, the other idea is for something that would work based on a by metallic switch, almost like a thermometer. So if things start to cool down, that might trigger a single-movement mechanical, stirring of the feeder unit. so maybe I’m wrong about mechanical means being heavy. But that’s just me spit balling to solve the problem for myself. I’d be very interested in seeing a video about how you resolve the issue. there’s a lot to be said for getting six hours consecutive or non-interrupted hours worth of Sleeping at night, while you’re camping, and all of them good. ps. you probably know exactly what I mean when it comes to those two set ups that generate electricity from Fire, or Stoves; but if it’s something you’re interested in and you don’t know what I’m talking about, let me know, and I’ll go have a look through my camping gear to get you some brand names and models. Watching you design and fabricate your stove, putting it to work and problem-solving, as you go, is really exciting. I can hardly wait to see what you do next with it.

@@daphneraven6745 awesome I am loving all of this feed back and ideas. So far the energy source I am still open for ideas to run the motor. Also instead of a continuous slow moving motor. Maybe using a stepper motor that only rotates say a programmed degree of like 15 degrees every say 15 minutes or 30 minutes. Testing needed. I have a drill bit auger I found for gardening that will probably be my prototype feeder auger. I would be interested in seeing some of your thermoelectric gear and some name brands or models you like would be appreciated. Once the 100% reliability gets there on the feeder really the only part left is ash. Slowing the vacuum flow so slow burn also allows bigger ash pile but I need to test that after long burns are reliable on their own. I am also thinking of sleeping through the night. Fire attending is no fun.

@@Jeep-Creep : so this could be a duplicate, jeep. I just sent an answer, and I don’t see it anywhere there. Because I’m just coming into modify the answer. So the two Fire chargers are called the Biolite and the Flamestower. I’ve used both. But I haven’t used the flame store in a couple years at least maybe three or four even. The bio lite works right treat. and the flamestower Is rated at 5 W, but as I look for videos for you, some of the content Creators say that it wasn’t producing five lots, so they had charge problems. That being the case, if it’s about Thermal electric elements, it wouldn’t be so hard to step that up. most of the videos for that one hour, fairly old, and the one I’m going to leave you a link for is no exception. But I’ll give you an idea as to what you’re looking at. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTIY2qCg7p_mbMsi=qNbdV9i2nSLAEBbF

@@daphneraven6745 sweet! I will look into both. One that I looked at was just a plate and no water.

[@vetinger]

If the glass will brocken, how you will replace it because of rivets used?

[@Jeep-Creep]

It’s not glass. It’s actually a natural forming mineral called “Mica” it’s very similar to an acrylic plastic but it happens to be fireproof. So you can drill it, it’s flexible, fireproof, and durable. Hobby stores and online stores sell it in small sheets.
