Floga running on wood pellets. Your experience?

Floga running on wood pellets. Your experience?

Just reading up on the MK Stove and Rigel when i came across this image of a Floga being run on what appears to be wood pellets(? .... with the large coal bed probably)

I'm finding it difficult to locate any media, youtube reviews or anyone using a Takibi+Floga+wood pellets in this way. Yet i came across what looks like a official image from a Wood&Burn SP collab article.

  • Has anyone else run their Taikibi+Floga in this way? What has been your experience?
  • Are the holes in the coal bed small enough to prevent pellets from falling through?
  • Would it be prudent to add a mesh layer (from those cheap mesh firepits) above the coal bed to prevent pellets from falling through?
  • I understand that pellets already burn very hot and fast and the Floga would also act as a multiplier bringing up the heat even higher. Would this have a negative effect on the overall lifetime of a Takibi and Floga?

What would be some Pros/Cons of using this fuel type in such a setup?

tldr: Where i am, pellets are $1/kg while kindling is often double. if i could cheat a little with pellets, then toss in whole logs, it would bring my overall fuel costs down significantly.
