Hey Travis, I have one of these as well. A couple items of interest. 1) we needed to seal with permatex the hopper, it had too many air leaks, and the fire would attempt to back burn. 2) Softwood pellets appear to work better for me than hardwood pellets - not sure I understand why, but they do - they are also semi-difficult to find here in Michigan. We also get about the same burn time per bag. Cheers !
@@travishobbs I think it's burn rate and the weight of the pellets, but that's just a guess. If the burning pellets sit on the sled area too long, Then the heat will migrate up into the hopper.
I made a larger version of that pellet tube out of 4 x 4" steel tubing and mounted it into a new door I made for my wood furnace. The flame blowing into the stove under a baffle. So the flame has to travel to the rear of the stove and then back to the front, go ever the end of the baffle and out the flue pipe. So by the time it goes up the pipe, it keeps most of the heat in the stove and less out the stack. I can almost hold my hand on the stove pipe. I heat my home with it now.
@@travishobbs I almost copied you but I decided to do a propane setup. Converted the wood stove to propane by playing a 100k but burner inside it, welded a rack on the neck of my trailer for 2 100lb propane tanks. Should be a slick set up, I'll do a video of it all set up this November for late season elk in Colorado
@@travishobbs could you please show us how this actually works? They dont sell them.. Been looking forever. Maybe possible to make our own before winter hits . Prices of gas are soaring. Cant afford to be up the creek this winter!
with this adapter on, can you still burn wood chunks? So if i wanted to exlusively use pellets at night, but burn wood during the day to save pellets, is it possible?
Has anyone had issues with this not burning very hot and occasionally burning out even with lignetics brand? I purchased one for this season and so far am not super impressed. Had to relite 3 times before we got up at 5am. Any pointers would be great. Thanks.
That’s interesting. Usually they burn so hot I’m having to close (narrow) feed to make it comfortable. Did you notice a lot of ash build up? Pellet condition… are they good and dry? I bought some from one hardware store that stored them outside uncovered, the pallet I pulled bags from was about half full. I’m convinced they got moisture into them, I also left some out in a rain one night….same thing. If not that, You might try a different brand. Hopefully from a new shrink wrapped covered pallet. Another trick I have found is make sure you completely empty and clean pellet adapter before use, I use a small wire brush, I also slam feed completely closed and immediately re-open it all the way right before I go to bed and once during the night. It will help clean ash and will stay going and not kill the flame. I’ll try and grab a short video on that. The other thing that I would ask, is your stove good and sealed? Are you getting a good draft? Are you using a damper? If so hopefully you have it wide open?? I have had the best luck closing down all incoming air into stove. This forces fresh air to come in through the “lighting holes” on pellet adapter forcing air into and around pellets. This will help “blow” the ash into the stove and keep feeding pellets.
@@travishobbs thank you for that. My bags of pellets were outside and uncovered. The bags also had some holes in them. I will clean the pellet ramp and burn area real good and try again. I will also try a new sealed bag of pellets. I did have the front breather open in the stove so I will try shutting that all down. Thanks again.

Where did you buy it?
Thanks for the pointers! That’s super interesting on the pellets. I’m wondering if it’s quality of manufacturing!?

You're the man! Just been reading your post on Rokslide, been planning my 4th season rifle elk hunt. Loved the video and the input on the forum
Thanks man! Hope it helped I know I wish I would have found this years ago!

I have tried to get one of these and I don't think they make them anymore. I wanted it for our spring bear hunts and late season hunts.
Brussard wood stoves
I’m not sure why they have stopped making them
Hey i don’t know if you know me but it’s me bo!
I opened up RUclips and saw you
Where did you get that conversion kit getting tired of choping wood when I can be hunting
Cylinder Stoves out of Utah. I have heard they didn’t have them for awhile. Riley Stoves (spelling might be off) also has a kit
Did they stop selling this pellet burner?
@@lineman10able I believe they did. Reilly Stoves (my spelling might be off) also has one, and I have heard good things about it.
@@travishobbs I guess they are redesigning it. Should have an update one coming soon.
@@lineman10able awesome, that is fantastic news.
Did you build the adapter or did you buy it?? I would love to buy one. Can you show the inside of the chamber
This was purchased from cylinder stove company but it appears they do not have them right now

Thanks! Excellent !
What lights are using inside the tents
Where did you get it? Thank you

Yes! It’s the best part of it
Can you please tell me where to purchase this wood pellet kit thank you
This kit was purchased from cylinder stoves out of Utah. For some reason it appears they do not have them on their website

What elevation were you at?
I have used it mostly in between 7k-9k feet all over the west in Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado
Where did you buy it at?
Which brand is this?
Cylinder Stoves brand
