Don't shoot me for asking. Do you think wood pellets used for cat litter would smell when using it for fuel here. Again, please don't get angry!

ehhhh yeah i don't know if that would be a good idea. They probably have chemicals in them that you don't want to be burning

I contacted my son who is the actual user of this bio-lite stove for a couple of years now. He says to tell you a definite NO on the cat litter because it would smell. He says that in his experience the best thing you can use in it and not have to worry about any smells, chemicals, arsenic, creosote - you get the picture - is wood chips that you buy at a grocery store that are designed specifically for cooking. He says they burn longer, too. By the way, he says his favorites are mesquite or cherry wood chips. Hopes this helps you. Oh and he wants me to add that he absolutely LOVES this stove and its attachments. Happy cooking! I contacted my son who is the actual user of this bio-lite stove for a couple of years now.

As long as there are no additives in the pellets. I have been using sawdust and olive oil pellets, twigs, fatwood, whatever. The thing runs great!

Funny you should ask.....I have been experimenting with different types of wood as well as charcoal mixes, this biolite is simply incredible! Try it and let me know! Hope it works out!

Before or after the cat ?. I personally wouldn't use them if the cat had already "used" them , but if they are dry they would probably work OK.

I haven't ever tried it although the owner's manual specifically says to not use pellets. I don't think they would smell but it may not work as well seeing as the pellets would interfere with the air flow within the grill.

You can use some baking soda or dry green tea leaves as natural deterants for the urine smell. This will require you to move the pellets around more with the scooper. But the idea behind Breeze litter pellets is the urine go to the pad and you change out the pad once a week for one cat and sometimes with 2 or more cats twice a week. If you have more than 2 cats get a least two of the Tidy Cat Breeze systems. And be persistance in waste removal and changing out the pads. And, everyone remember every month or month and a half always dump everything and clean the box and tray with soap and water. This definitely cuts down on the urine smell building up on the box where the pellets reside. You can use some baking soda or dry green tea leaves as natural deterants for the urine smell.

NO!! The worst smell ever. I tried feline pine in the breeze system because I wanted to change the pellets weekly due the the remaining poop that gets left on the breeze pellets. It was terrible. The feline pine pellets would get saturated with urine leaving the worst smell ever.

Oh I wouldn't know! We have 2 cats and throw away the litter every day at the apartment's big dumpster. But, we have a kitty litter trash can by the door and sometimes leave it there all day cause we're too lazy to go to the dumpster, and it does not smell unpleasant while it's sitting there. The bags do have fragrance to help hide any smells.

Please never get the corn based litter. I got it once and. It got moldy, I cleaned and replaced with fresh and the cats didn't want to go in there. I looked at it closely and there was larvae in there. Later one of my coworkers tried to get me to take hers because her cat hated it so much she would hiss at it. I absolutely refused. Clay is way better

I am using it for my rabbit now. I just bought a corner regular litter box and put the pellets right in there. She took to it immediately. Its been a week now and I dont smell a thing. I leave the solids in there because they are dry and have no odor anyway. I will just dump it when it starts smelling.

I only used the pellets for a short time, but there was less mess outside the box. I have a cat who refuses to use the regular litter or the pellets to urinate. So I just use the pads. I put one on top and one in the drawer and she uses the breeze litter box to pee and regular cat litter to poop.

I have just used it on a gas grill. If you have a heat source it shoul make smoke. I have never used a pellet grill so I might not be the best resource.

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

I have no experience with wood pellets. I can only say FP is better, from many perspectives than clay. Does wood absorb urine?

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

Yes, I use it and it works great. I can also use less of the yesterday's news litter so I am saving money there too. The YN litter with the Breeze Tidy cat system is the perfect combination. Don't use the pellets that came with the Breeze litter system, the cats don't like them and they don't work good. The YN works great and cats love it with the Breeze system. I used both and it's wonderful.

Agree with the other answers,funny the other day it occurred to me there was no !longer any odor from cat box in my apartment, something I've never experienced consitenly before this litter.

I don't believe so. I did not like it as the smell was strong even with one cat. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't do that. I tried it with plain non clumping kitty litter and it just piled up, never went anywhere and got nasty. I think it would actually wreck the land instead of help it.

I was really excited to read that wood pellets sold at the feed store were the same as the Feline Pine I have been using at half the price. I paid $8 something for a 35 lb bag. I'm just getting ready to try it and will comment later. I don't see a difference except in the way the stuff is packaged. Who knew??

I read that wood pellets (large animal bedding) is essentially the same as pine pellets for small animals, although the pine may be of higher quality and finer grade. I would have tried it for my six cats, but it is not available in my urban market. I would also consider mixing the two as needed to minimize cost. Let us know!
