A fuel management system for a biomass furnace features a common drive motor operatively coupled to both a fuel delivery conveyor, which is arranged to support and displace fuel during combustion in a combustion chamber of the furnace, and an ash removal conveyor which is arranged to transfer ash generated by the combustion out of the combustion chamber. The system also features ducting which extends around the fuel delivery conveyor to convey airflow generated by a blower for subsequent discharge both below and above the fuel during combustion. Furthermore, the system features a housing which operably supports at least the fuel delivery conveyor and which is arranged to be removably insertible into the combustion chamber of the furnace.
