A burner for burning fuels and modular heat utilizing appliances therefor. The burner includes a fuel holder, an outer wall surrounding the fuel holder and defining a combustion chamber, and optionally, a second wall surrounding the outer wall. Air is inducted from an inlet which may be an ash pan pivotally coupled to the outer wall at the bottom to open the combustion chamber. Supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the outer wall. Additional supplementary combustion air is conducted to just above the fuel holder by the second wall. The burner may include a pivotally mounted cooking grate and a pivotally mounted solid cover for closing the combustion chamber, and supporting legs. Modules individually yet replaceably attachable to the burner include a closed or open cooker, a smoker, a space heater, and a pyrolyzer.

A pellet stove includes a hopper for storing pellets, a basket for receiving the pellets by gravity, a duct for conveying combustion air to the basket, and a conduit for conducting heated air away from the basket. The position of the basket is adjustable, such as by raising and lowering it, or by rotating it, so as to control the number of pellets in the area of most intense combustion. One or more burn plates, positioned below the basket, provide platforms on which pellets falling through the basket can burn down to a smaller size. The pellet stove requires no external source of power. The stove so constructed enables quiet, efficient and clean burning of the pellets.

The object of the present invention is an automated oven for producing and cooking bakery products, such as pizzas and the like.

A portable biomass stove includes a tubular seat unit and an insulation unit. The tubular seat unit includes an inner tubular seat and an outer tubular seat. The outer tubular seat surrounds the inner tubular seat, cooperates with the inner tubular seat to define an internal space therebetween, and is formed with an air inlet located under the tubular body. A top end portion of the outer tubular seat is connected to a top end portion of the tubular body in a sealing contact manner. The insulation unit is disposed in one of the internal space and an ambient space outside the outer tubular seat so as to prevent dissipation of heat out of the outer tubular seat.

A coaxial perforating charge includes a shaped charge and a container having a fracture explosive pack inside. The container is coaxially provided at a front end of the shaped charge; the fracture explosive pack is a ring-shaped explosive pack formed by impregnating a fracture explosive for eliminating a compacted zone into the container; the fracture explosive pack is coaxially arranged with the shaped charge. The fracture explosive includes ammonium perchlorate, aluminum powder, additive, and dioctyl sebacate; the additive is hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), or a mixture of HTPB, N,N′-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine and toluene di-isocyanate. A perforation method thereof, for self-eliminating a compacted zone, includes steps of: running a jet perforating gun downward; perforating while self-eliminating a compacted zone. The charge and its perforation method are reasonably designed, convenient, safe, reliable, well performed, and able to perforate while self-eliminating the compacted zone, which effectively eliminates an impact on rock permeability of the compacted zone.

The invention relates to auxiliary equipment for reburning combustion products. The technical result is that of accelerating the ignition of fuel and improving fuel combustion in a furnace. A device for reburning combustion products in a furnace is arranged above a combustion unit inside the body of the furnace and is in the form of a hollow body with a bottom inlet hole and a top outlet hole, on the side wall of which hollow body there is formed a horizontal row of evenly distributed air holes. Rectangular protrusions are formed to the right- and left-hand sides of each hole on the inside of the body of the device, said protrusions serving to feed supplementary air, which comes in via the holes, from the outer holes of the furnace into the body of the device, providing for accelerated incineration of residual combustion products without formation of a vortex in the air flows.

A roaster structure with a cover supporting member for achieving secure angular positions includes a roaster body and a ceramic cover in addition to the cover supporting member for achieving secure angular positions. The cover supporting member for achieving secure angular positions includes: a lower supporting member fixedly provided on one side of the roaster body and having a first joining end and at least one limiting groove; an upper supporting member pivotally joined to the lower supporting member and having a second joining end; at least one position-limiting member fixed on the upper supporting member and slidably inserted into the at least one limiting groove; and an extensible and retractable bar joined between the two joining ends. The ceramic cover can be lifted open and closed with respect to the roaster body and secured at any angular position via the cover supporting member for achieving secure angular positions.

A control system for a solid fuel combustion appliance, e.g., a wood burning stove, includes a temperature sensor for sensing an output temperature of the appliance. A controller receives the output temperature and controls a damper associated with air flow through the stove to maintain a predetermined temperature. The system also includes a detector that senses certain conditions of the solid fuel, e.g., wood, that is burned by the stove. When additional fuel is added to the appliance, the system temporarily encourages initial combustion of the new fuel, before returning to maintaining the predetermined temperature.
