Can you burn wood pellets in it?

Certainly! In fact, if you anticipate wet conditions, carrying wood chips would be a great idea as insurance against being stuck without being able to use your stove.

Yes, you can burn just about anything, even twigs and branches while out camping.

Great question. yes and no. Out of the box the solo stove cannot simply because the pellets will fall through the wires that act as the fuel platform in the stove. That being said I simply took some heavy duty closed wire mesh and cut it into a circle that fit the bottom of the stove. That becomes a great breathable platform for the pellets.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.

You can, but when you burn the wood or what ever you burn. It will make the glass all dirty. This is meant for gas or propane fires.

I would not use wood personally as it burns unevenly and could result in your food being unevenly cooked.

Yes. i'm assuming that you could use wood in it. It is a small hibatchi style grill. It is solid cast iron so it weighs like 49 lbs. Solid as a rock. I would use small pieces of wood and flip the top over to use the "high" side of the grill, as wood might flair up more than charcoal. Adjust also the air vent in front to control flame up. I have put small chunks of wet wood mesquite on top and the side of the charcoal to smoke/flavor the meat when I'm cooking. I soak the mesquite wood in water for several hours so that it gets smoky (for flavor).

We have not tried that, but I believe that wood burns differently than the charcoal. I think you could use smoking chips, the kind you wet and throw on the coals, but I don't think wood is recommended.

In theory I bet you could....in practice I feel that it would be very difficult. I have experience using small woodburning stoves so I can vouch for how handy they are. I think that the space in the fuel area is too small to accommodate the wood. I actually use the cup that came with this set up with my emberlit wood stove all the time with great success. Look them up if you want a great little wood burning stove.

You should be able to. Just one caution... very little wood chips are needed otherwise the smoke flavor is overwhelming.

I have seen it used on a rocket stove but not wood,you would have try that. I figure though, that as long as there is a consistent flame source, it might just very well work.

I would not recommend it. The unit can be VERY smoky when starting it up. It is definitely an open flame. Once the wood has caught fire it behaves like a high intensity gas burner, and is much hotter than charcoal. It's fast and excellent at what it does, but does not do low, slow heat.

You could, but I found if left on wood surfaces too long ( weeks as a smelly) it eats away at the wood. So yes, with caution

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.
1801143
Yes, as long as you contain the lead splatter from the pellet hitting hard objects. Using a bullet box or soft lumber are two excellent ways to contain it.

Yes you can. You will need to put a can or something to keep the wood in though so the heat and flame can be concentrated. It looks like the metal is coated in Zinc to make it rust resistsant so I would not build a fire in the thing unless you want zinc poisoning.

Yes they can. I've used pellets to add smoke when using gas grills for a long time; although I haven't used this brand. I use BBQ Delight, and they use to sell a smoker kit for gas grills. Just fill your smoker box, and the best location is under the grate close to the flames. They should also work on top of the grates, though not as well, and it will take additional time for them to start smoking. As mentioned in an earlier reply, don't soak them.

Im not for sure if you can. I dont know what type of chemicals, if any, are released into the air. Its not very clean burning. The fuel cube leaves black residue on the bottom of my cup. The fuel cube does and can blow out very easily. I think you could use it in a ventilated area indoors. It burns very hot but is easily controlled. You could probably use it in a tarp tent, if you had a good base that was fire proof.

I used open fire (wood) in the backyard. Played with size of the fire and distance from it to the can to get it right. Using a grill would probably work, too, although it might get stained. You need a lot of heat, so a gas stove would not be enough, in my opinion, at least outside in any kind of wind. And I would never heat it up inside because of the smell. The plastic parts are pretty useless, they melt and break. The product itself is great. The quality of repair is excellent.
