A radiant tube burner, wherein an opening cross section of the tube is virtually divided into four areas with two straight lines as boundaries, the two straight lines being obtained by tilting a minor axis of the oval, which is a shape of the opening cross section, by ±45° with a center of the oval as a center, and a flow rate of primary combustion air injected from primary combustion air nozzles located in the areas containing the minor axis of the oval of the virtually divided four areas is lower than a flow rate of the primary combustion air injected from the primary combustion air nozzles located in the areas not containing the minor axis of the oval the four areas.

A powered secondary air supply ranger burner and method thereof provide an efficient burner with improved heat transfer. An atmospheric range burner controls a burner flame by insulating the burner and supplying a secondary air to the burner. The secondary air concentrates a heating zone to a center of a cooking vessel to be heated by the burner flame. The secondary air also controls a size and a shape of the burner flame.

A combustion/pyrolization system for generating at least one of char and biochar comprising an upper base frame supporting a combustion/pyrolization housing, and the combustion/pyrolization housing having both an open top end and an open bottom end. A char collection bin defining a collection chamber therein and a perforated grate normally covering the open top end of the char collection bin. The perforated grate being sized so as to permit desired sized char and/or biochar to pass therethrough into the collection chamber. The open bottom end of the combustion/pyrolization housing of the upper base frame is movable into an engaged position where the combustion/pyrolization housing partially receives and surrounds the perforated grate and defines a combustion/pyrolization chamber for receiving and consuming feed material. The upper base frame is movable out of engagement with the perforated grate to facilitate movement of the perforated grate and removal of the generated char and/or biochar.
