- Quick video I threw together on how to use your own wood pellets in a Tiki brand fire pit (or any smokeless fire pit I would imagine). I’ll add more details as dictated by comments / questions.
Created because I found a lot of people asking how to use wood pellets in a smokeless fire pit without it either creating a ton of smoke or going out.
The key is adding a small amount of pellets to your fire while the flames are still going pretty good. You will need to do this often to keep it going just right. And, when you get tired of feeding it pellets, just toss on a single log as needed, again, while the flames are still going well. All depends on how long you want your fire to run.
And yes, I know I called the metal spoon a wooden spoon - ooops!
Items needed:
1. Fire Pit
2. Wood pellets
3. Fire Starter
4. Lighter / torch
5. Scooper
6. Long handled metal spoon
Optional: air tight / dry storage for pellets, wood logs (smaller, dried - like a bundle you can find in a gas station, grocery or box store)

Tried this tonight and I think pellets are good for making a hot base of coals but honestly putting wood on will give you a longer burn with no need to keep sprinkling pellets
Don't listen to this guy. Tried his way but it only lasted a few mins. Take the middle cone out and fill it halfway up to the top with pellets. Much better results off a 40 lb 8 dollar bag of pellets at Lowes.
Love it. Great idea. Alot cheaper then the 10 tiki pellet bag
I just want to say thank you I knew I wasn’t gonna keep buying the packs that they sell and I have a tractor supply 10 minutes from my house
Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Great idea with the wood pellets.
This was very helpful.
Excellent instruction video!
If you get that sucker smokin and light the holes at the top and maybe blow air down into the pit to get the flow of smoke going down and the smoke gets burned as it comes out of those holes at the top. It will look like a gas grill with zero smoke and you don't have to add pellets every 5 minutes.
Great tips, thanks!
Thanks for the tip! How much pellets do you put in to start with?
What about sprinkling a little lighter fluid to get it started
Buy a pint of 91% ISO alcohol at the store next time and squirt a little around the fire pit circumference... lite and its going... no waiting for flames to build... Enjoy!
Worked….thanks
Very helpful thank you but its not a wooden spoon...lol
Yes, wooden you know it by looking at it
Question, Do you feel the heat down by your lower legs or is it all waste and above live the Solo stove?
There is some radiation around the base of the unit. If we are sitting in chairs around it, we all feel pretty good & warm when it’s cold out.
what size firepit is that? where did you get it? Great video!!!

would you reccomend the tiki brand firepit? does the head emit around the base better than the solo? have you used real logs?
I was surprised at the amount of heat it radiates, mainly when the flame is raging well. I don’t know how it compares to the solo, but I and my guests have had to move back from it because it can get too warm at times, which is a good thing.
I have used real logs too, but try not to overdue it with them because I don’t like cleaning up the leftover chunks. The pellets leave a small amount of ash/dust which is just brush down the pits holes and empty the tray every couple weeks.
Yes, I recommend it. I think it looks nice, works well, and is priced more affordable if my memory serves me correct.
Does anyone know what brand of torch/lighter that is?
On Amazon, “AnWoor” is the brand name. The one with the fuel window: “Butane Lighter Long Lighter Refillable Torch Jet Lighter with Visible Fuel Window for Grill BBQ Fireplace”
