What kind of drain slots are in the bottom? I'm wondering if this box would work with pine pellets. If there are small slots that cover a large portion of the bottom, it would probably work great - if there's just one small area that drains, most of...

It would work with the pine pellets. Bottom is slotted, under slotted area is a tray that has a large hole in it for urine to go into a catch pan. Not the easiest setup to keep clean. I feel a better choice would be the breeze pan system. My daughter uses that with pine pellets. You don't need any pads. Saw dust falls into tray which can be pulled out and cleaned daily. Very easy. hope this helps

Wish I could help you. I've only used the BB's and pellets that came with the kit and they've worked well for my needs.

It will go through the mechanism the problem I s the sweet feed packs in the bucket. It works great on the pellet goat feed.

I use corn in it, but the hole that drops the bait onto the spinner is about 2 inches in width. I guess it would take any pellet up to the size of a dime.

The pellets aren't meant to fill the box... just barely cover the bottom. Too many pellets and the urine won't be able to drain through to the pad below as it should. Just use one bag for an initial fill and after each complete clean out. If you end up scooping out some of the pellets with the poop, you can add a bit back over time before the next complete clean.

rast is solid pine and would not want bolt heads on the outside of my rack.. pan head screws should be find unless you are filling the thing with a bunch of heavy power amps. I would put my heaviest piece on the bottom though.

i drilled a 3/4" hole in a lowes food grade bucket and it worked fine, it has not leaked, the gasket that it comes with is somewhat cone shaped so it fit well.

That was a concern I had. The slot is designed so this should not happen and the bottom has quite a taper so it would be very hard to fish something out. I am completely satisfied with mine. I should have installed it some time ago!!

One of our cats does the same thing - we tried covered boxes but the urine just ran down from the side of the top and gathered in the capilary space between the lid and bottom part of the box. The only we have found to work is 18 GAL Roughneck Totes by Rubbermaid. They are 24 x 16 (like a regular litter box) but even on her best tail pumping days, our female cat can only get to within a half inch of top the the 16.5" tall side walls. I am considering this box but am concerned that the pee will run down the wall and collect where the lid and bottom come together. Did you have any luck with this product and your cat?

The fish feeder works excellent with small and medium pellets. I have a large acqurium and even sometimes use large pellets and I have never had a problem. I happily recommend the fish feeder.

There are no ventilation holes in the bottom like you'd find in a Smokey Joe for example. That said, the fire pit is shallow enough were there's NO NEED for them. This works great as is.

If it's not too big of chunks it should be ok. I have put laying pellets in mine and that works.

They are designed to be used for a pellet smoker such as a traeger. If your box is designed to specifically feed wood pellets, it should be fine. If not, I would go with something else.

It has two places inside for pellets. Wood chips would not fit unless they were very small.

Hey Letims, I have three of the Smart Cat Boxes and love them. The litter has to be undissolvable as the pee flows down through the safflower seeds into a tank. The pine pellets, and I use pine pellets with my foster cats, would break up and not let the pee flow down defeating the purpose of the design. The bottom of the top tray has rows of narrow slits that would get clogged. The second tray just has one hole that empties into the tank. FYI, I get the safflowers seeds at a local pet supply store that sells big bags for people who feed wild birds! It's cheap and works beautifully. Only drawback is if someone has very soft poop or diarrhea making it hard to scoop out it all out. Hope this helps! Hey Letims, I have three of the Smart Cat Boxes and love them.

I think it just would be messy. the design of this litter box keeps the pellets on top and the peeps go through the grate onto the pad. you scoop out the poop just like any other little box but pull out the drawer on the bottom to change the pad.

I've been using it for a nitro piston rifle with lead pellets, CO2 pistol with steel BB's at close / far ranges with no issues. To help "contain" any lead splatter or BBs that try to get out, i sealed the seams with duct tape, and cut pieces of cardboard to the opening size to help keep everything contained.
