I have completely run out of wood that is ready to burn, and am down to burning pallets and cut off peices of 2x4 lumber-
Is there a way to burn pellets in a woodstove?

There's a guy in Canada that used SS cylinders drilled around the side and the bottom that he stood on 1/2 inch legs and burned pellets. A few years back I tried to buy some, 6 or so. Lost Internet contact. I think the idea is sound. enclose the pellets and provide a heated container, add cool air on the outside and draw it to the center by convection. Would burn well, if you generated enough air draw. Thought one cylinder would not work, but three or four would create the necessary air draw.
Problem is, you are spending a lot of money for dooh-dahhs. A wood burner is a wood burner, if pellets were $85.00 a ton, we'd all try to burn them. That's not the case.
Better to suck it in and buy what you need for the rest of the season from a wood seller and take your lumps for innacurate planning. Not casting blame. Had to buy a half ton of pellets recently for this year. Next year plan on an extra cord of so over what you used this year.

I am going to break down and buy a cord from a garden center- now shopping prices
Churchie- Tomatoes are a hobby for me- i bought my house with the condition that I was able to remove some grass in the backyard to look at the soil. Last year was ok- but 2 years ago was the best year I've had in about 10.. I'll have to dig up some pics..
