You could try leaving the tray in the blocking position during the burn, or mixing the pellets with wood shavings, that stabilizes the pellets and blocks some air flow, or possibly not leaving the air hole in the center.????? I have completely filled the burn chamber with wood pellets and that's probably why mine stayed in place, all that weight pushing down, yours was only one cup, that makes sense, the wire mesh was probably the best way to use small amounts of wood pellets.
Hello this is Steve from FIREBOX, I did a video where i use a mix of wood pellets and wood shavings, Just thought some people may be interested. If so click on my link directly beneath this comment.
Thanks for a great test. That was a good Idea to put wire mesh on the Fire grate. Another option is available, the ash pan can be slipped upside down directly underneath the Fire grate, held in place by dimples in the side plates, doing this completely blocks the holes in the Fire grate. Once the wood pellets are in place, you can remove the ash pan and the pellets generally stay in place. Then you can slide the ash pan back into it's regular position and light your fire.
I tried the way you did but my wood pellets fell through when I took the tray away. Maybe because I didn't pack the pellets in tight. But then the way I did it gave to much air to the pellets and caused the run-away flames. I'll have to try some more ideas.
I put the coals out at about 18 minutes because it was getting really windy. They probably could have lasted a while yet. On the other hand if it hadn't got so windy, even with the shield, it could have lasted much longer. I should time it sometime.
Very interesting stove, I am considering buying one of these. I am looking forward to more of your testing in order to get an idea on what they can do. Thank you so much, I love watching your videos. Is charcoal briquetts another possible fuel source for this stove?? They are light and easy to transport and easy to obtain. Just a thought. Thanks
Good fun..sounds like someone called the FireDept in the back ground..lol

Good test and review. Always enjoy your videos. And grilled spam sounds good.

While I always appreciate your videos, it's good to see tests done outside since I use my cook stove outside on camping trips.

Just curious, how hot were the handles on your cup after it boiled?

How long did the 1 cup of pellets actually burn?
Thank you

That was because of the breeze. I have to work on that.

I don't see why they wouldn't work. Sounds like an idea for another test. Thanks.
