The utility model relates to thermal power engineering, particularly to heating devices in which wood fuel undergoes high-temperature gasification (pyrolysis). The problem which the claimed utility model addresses is that of the consistent and environmentally clean combustion of wood fuel possessing a natural (that is, high) moisture content. The technical result is achieved in that the device includes a vertically-oriented additional gas duct through which the moisture contained in the fuel is removed in the form of of steam from the upper part of a fuel hopper to a flame in an afterburn chamber, wherein carbon monoxide mixed with steam is burned off and does not enter the atmosphere.

A fire pit includes an engine having at least one wall defining an inner chamber. At least one primary air aperture is defined through the inner chamber wall at a first, lower level, and at least one secondary air aperture is defined through the inner chamber wall at a second, upper level. A fuel grate is supported within the inner chamber at a level between the lower level and the upper level.

A biomass pellet combustion system includes a primary burn chamber, a coal burn chamber, and a gas burn chamber. The primary burn chamber is configured to receive pellets from a drop tube of the biomass pellet combustion system. The coal burn chamber is configured to receive coals from the primary burn chamber. The gas burn chamber is configured to receive combustible gases from both the primary burn chamber and the coal burn chamber, wherein a secondary combustion process converts secondary combustion air and the combustible gases into exhaust gases in the gas burn chamber.

A solid fuel combustion device includes: a fuel supply device including a firewood feed pipe or another fuel supplier; a primary combustion chamber coupled to the fuel supply device; a secondary combustion chamber including a wall formed of a fireproof material and having a structure in which a space is formed at a side of the combustion gas outlet of the primary combustion chamber to induce primary combustion gas to be secondarily expanded and combusted; and an air supply system including at least one air supply device in an entire combustion path formed in the primary combustion chamber and the secondary combustion chamber.

A gasification stove includes an upper housing including an upper hollow body and a dome section, and a lower housing including a lower hollow body that form a stove chamber when connected to each other. A separator for collecting a gas and flame generated from burning of the biomass is arranged in the stove chamber and includes a bowl section and a chimney section. The bowl section has a first set of holes, and an upper part of the chimney section has a second set of holes. The upper part of the chimney section is air-tightly attached to an edge of a chimney opening of the upper housing. At least some of the gas flows through the first set of holes and the second set of holes to enter into the chimney section so as to react with the flame or hot air in the chimney section to generate additional flame power.

A coal combustion process is described using coal feedstock and processed biomass feedstock to reduce adverse by-products in a coal combusting apparatus including the reduction of carbon dioxide by at least 50 volume %. The coal feedstock is selected from coal, a coal substitute processed biomass, or an aggregate blend of coal and processed biomass. The biomass feedstock comprises processed biomass pellets.
