A heating system configured to employ pellets as a fuel source for cooking and configured to be initially ignited with a gas fuel. The heating system including a gas line configured to feed gas to a fire pot. The fire pot being located in a main body. The fire pot includes one or more screens to define a region within the fire pot such that the one or more screens are sized and configured to block pellets from entering the region. Further, the gas line is associated with a mixing structure configured to mix the gas fuel and oxygen together.

An example oven can include: a main body with a cooking cavity; a front portion of the main body having a front opening for receiving a pizza and acting as an air vent; a wood burning tray assembly including a grate positioned in the main body; and a gas burner positioned adjacent to the wood burning tray assembly; wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity; and wherein the gas burner is positioned to ignite wood on the grate of the wood burning tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity.

A burner capable of burning crude or other heavy oil. A combustion chamber is surrounded by a wall of thermal insulation. An air-fuel injector pipe extends through the wall and opens into the combustion chamber. An oil supply pipe extends along the interior of the air fuel injector pipe to an inner open end that is proximate the inner end of the air-fuel injector pipe. A venturi insert is fixed within the air-fuel injector pipe and has an orifice positioned outward of the open inner end of the oil supply pipe. A combustion air supply including a blower and a recuperator transfers heat from outgoing combusted exhaust gases to incoming combustion-supporting air being blown through the recuperator and the air fuel injector pipe into the combustion chamber.

A gas pipe ignitor for igniting a non-premixed air and fuel mixture includes a housing having an axially interior space along its length, a supply end segment, a flame end segment axially spaced from the supply end segment, and a flexible segment spaced between the supply end segment and the flame end segment. A fuel supply conduit extends axially within the housing, and the fuel supply conduit is operatively flexible with the flexible segment. An ignition conduit extends axially within the housing, and the ignition conduit is operatively flexible with the flexible segment. A detector conduit extends axially within the housing, and the detector conduit is operatively flexible with the flexible segment. An air supply conduit is operatively connected to the housing at the supply end segment and provides combustion air within the interior space.
