I have done that with greasy dogfood (aka mix with pellets) to prevent jams

However the amount of pellets to soaked pellets would likely not allow a significant amount of oil to be used, likely only ounces per 40lb since pellets don't really absorb anything and if they do they fall apart.

The pellet stove insides are blocked off like a blast furnace with a sealed door so I don't see how I would end up with out of control flames, even if it burned up the fill pipe it would be such a small opening the flame would loose O2
