Techniques for controlling a solid fuel combustion appliance, e.g., a wood burning stove, are disclosed. A control system measures an exhaust gas temperature of airflow through an outlet of the solid fuel combustion appliance. The control system determines a derivative of the exhaust gas temperature with respect to time. The derivative of the exhaust gas temperature with respect to time is compared to a predetermined threshold. The control system modulates the inlet damper in response to determining that the derivative of the exhaust gas temperature with respect to time reaches the predetermined threshold.

The wood heating device, such as a stove or a wood-burner, includes a combustion chamber defined by a metal combustion space having an intake. The chamber is equipped with a closing mechanism of the retractable type, and at least one distinct oxidant air inlet orifice. The combustion space is housed in a metal outer casing. The outer casing defines with the combustion space at least one reserve of preheated air and an oxidant air duct. An outside-air supply opening is made in the outer casing and is arranged laterally to the intake. The reserve of preheated air bypasses the combustion space by at least one side starting from the outside-air supply opening.

An insert ring that suspends a fire pit at least partially within an opening of a support structure, and provides ventilation into the support structure to an outer wall of the fire pit.

A grill including an upper shell and a lower shell is provided. The lower shell defines an opening there-through, and the upper shell and the lower shell together define a cooking chamber. A pellet burner is adapted to fit in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes an air duct having a first end and a second end. The first end is positioned outside of the lower shell and the second end is positioned inside of the lower shell when the pellet burner is fitted in the opening in the lower shell. The pellet burner includes a fan positioned to blow air through the air duct and through the second end of the air duct, and a pellet box configured to hold a plurality of pellets. An auger moves the pellets to a position adjacent the second end of the air duct that contains a hot rod.

A small stove assorted with smokeless combustion of combustible solids/semisolids, a stove core and a shape of briquette are to ensure that a cylindrical briquette stack is quickly ignited in a smokeless state. A section A stove core inner ring and a flame concentrator are made of a selected high-whiteness aluminum silicate fiber with superior thermal insulation/resistance effects, and are processed for, e.g., blocking the micropores inner circumferential surface, and a stove core outer ring is made of cheaper foam glass, foam ceramic or calcium silicate modules. An underlying briquette with a concave top is designed to enable an easy, convenient and fast alignment of vent holes. The overall cross-sectional area of the vent holes is expanded by 30%-50% as compared with the area of the anthracite briquettes with the same diameter, and the inner ring vent holes are mainly expanded.

A solid pellet fueled heater having a base unit with forced air blowers and a dual tube chimney structure is disclosed. The dual tube chimney structure may be used to warm incoming air for distribution around the heater. The pellet heater may also include a dual auger system and multi/high speed auger motor. The dual auger may include first and second auger blades mounted on a single auger shaft having blade pitches configured to convey solid fuel in opposite directions.

A single burn rate stove including a burn chamber configured to burn biomass therein and a door configured to receive primary combustion air and provide the received primary combustion air to the burn chamber. The door is at a front of the stove. The stove further includes a bottom configured to receive secondary combustion air, a plurality of secondary air tubes extending across a top of the burn chamber, and a secondary air manifold configured to conduct the secondary combustion air from the bottom to the plurality of secondary air tubes.

A table (1) has a table top (2) containing an opening (3). A heating appliance (10) is in the opening (3) wherein the heating appliance (10) extends at least beneath the table top (2). The table top opening (3) comprises a recess (5) in which the heating appliance (10) is received, and the recess (5) has at least one wall (7) below the table top (2). The heating appliance (10) has a substantially sealed chamber (13) for receiving combustible fuel (47) with which the heating appliance (10) is used, and the chamber (13) has at least one window (35, 45).

There is provided a wood pellet burner assembly for a wood pellet boiler, not shown. There is a fixed and easily removable fuel apertured grate mounted above and spaced apart from a base wall forming part of a main support enclosure. A movable scraper subassembly carrying an apertured flame tube is provided which can be moved in and out of the main support enclosure to perform a scraping action on the fixed fuel apertured grate to deliver ash and clinker which have not fallen through the grate during combustion off the grate out of the main support enclosure. This cleaning operation can be carried out at suitable preset time intervals.
