A burner for solid particle fuels such as shavings or pellets. The invention includes a helical piston to deliver fuel particles up an inclined tube into a cup having an oxygen delivery tube for combustion. The helical piston is axially extendable and retractable to first advance material up the tube without rotation, and then retract with rotation so as to screw itself into the next charge of material to be advanced. Combustion heat may be used to drive a Stirling engine or other mechanism for converting heat into other useful energy or power, such as using the burner as a component of a combined heat and power (CHP) system.

A cooking apparatus can include an enclosure defining a heating chamber configured to be heated and used for cooking food, a burn box proximate to the enclosure and which is configured to provide heat to the heating chamber, a hopper fluidly coupled to the burn box and configured to hold fuel, and a fuel conditioner disposed between the hopper and the burner to condition the fuel prior to burning in the burner. The fuel conditioner can be, for example, a wood chipper configured to reduce the size of the fuel.

Pellet grills including a control system that implements, manages, and/or controls various ignition-based protocols are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a cooking chamber, a burn pot, an ignitor, and a controller. The ignitor extends into the burn pot and is configured to ignite pellet fuel located within the burn pot. The controller is configured to detect a temperature pattern of the cooking chamber corresponding to a flame out condition of the burn pot. The controller is further configured, in response to detecting the temperature pattern, to command the ignitor to activate during a first duration. The controller is further configured to determine, following expiration of the first duration, whether a temperature of the cooking chamber increased during the first duration. The controller is further configured, in response to determining that the temperature has not increased during the first duration, to command the ignitor to activate during a second duration.

A burner for solid particle fuels such as shavings or pellets. The invention includes an auger to deliver fuel particles up an inclined tube into a cup having an oxygen emitting orifice for combustion. The auger is axially extendable and retractable to first advance material up the tube without rotation, and then retract with rotation so as to screw itself into the next charge of material to be advanced. Combustion heat may be used to drive a Stirling engine to comprise a combined heat and power (CHP) system.

Flue gases may also be condensed onto chilled objects as beneficial ceramic-like coatings, or these objects may be made of frangible or soluble material so that the condensate may be collected separately as a valuable ceramic-like material.

Methods, devices and systems for processing of solid materials, particularly fuel material solids such as carbonaceous fuel solids such as of granular form, to provide or result in an even distribution of the solid material. Hoppers are provided with plurality of outlet orifices, each of the outlet orifices adapted to flow therethrough a combination of gas and the solid material to pneumatically convey the solid material to a distribution manifold. The distribution manifold includes a plurality of tubes with each tube having a plurality of exit orifices wherein each exit orifice passes an equal portion of the combination of the gas and the solid material.

A pellet hopper for use in a pellet grill includes a first bottom panel, a second bottom panel, and a third bottom panel. Each bottom panel has an inner edge that partially defines a pellet evacuation opening. The first, second, and third bottom panels form respective first, second, and third nonzero angles relative to a horizontal plane. In this way, each bottom panel tilts downward toward the pellet evacuation opening.

A cooking apparatus, having a body defining an interior cooking chamber for cooking food, a pellet supply portion coupled to the body and including a hopper for storing fuel, a combustion chamber for burning the fuel and heating the cooking chamber, a feeding mechanism for supplying fuel from the hopper to the combustion chamber, and a removable collection receptacle located below the combustion chamber. The apparatus also includes an ash-shaker located between the collection receptacle and the combustion chamber, the ash-shaker including an external actuator that controls one or more moving elements located in the combustion chamber, wherein movement of the moving elements encourages unburned debris in the combustion chamber to fall into the receptacle, after which the collection receptacle can be removed and the unburned debris discarded.

The present invention relates to a self-powered time sharing reaction system and method for organic materials pyrolysis and combustion. The system comprises a time sharing reactor for pyrolysis and combustion, a feeder, a recovery apparatus for pyrolysis volatility products and a flue gas purifier. The whole process mainly consists of two time sharing stages of pyrolysis and combustion: organic materials are sent into the time sharing reactor for pyrolysis and combustion, and solid thermal carrier rapidly heats the organic materials and the pyrolysis reaction takes place. The produced pyrolysis volatility products enter the recovery apparatus for the recycling of the pyrolysis gas and pyrolysis oil; when the pyrolysis reaction is over, fill air into the time sharing reactor for pyrolysis and combustion to combust with the rest of the pyrolysis volatility products and the pyrolysis residue in the reactor. The heat produced during the combustion heats the solid thermal carrier, the flue gas is released after being purified, the heated solid thermal carrier is left in the time sharing reactor for pyrolysis and combustion to provide energy for the next organic materials pyrolysis. The process is thus repeated. The system has the advantages of cascade utilization of energy, short time of pyrolysis reaction and high efficiency of heat transfer.
