A pyrotechnic heat source, also called heat pellet, is a pyrotechnic device based on a pyrotechnic composition with a suitable igniter. Its role is to produce controlled amount of heat. Pyrotechnic heat sources are usually based on thermite-like fuel-oxidizer compositions with slow burn rate, high production of heat at desired temperature, and low to zero production of gases.
