I got a Christmas present this last December. ...from myself.

The Aprevecho* Research Center's Stovetec Firefly.



It will run for 45 minutes on one load of wood pellets. I wonder if I crush wood pellets into a cylindrical block with some binder, would that make it easy to load and light and possibly burn slower and therefore longer?

I also have a 1915 Rudd gas water heater similar to this one:

It needs an adapter block and some way to reload and relight it.
