Woodburning stove

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6315312

An efficient, clean burning, woodburning stove in which super heated fresh air and exhaust gases from the primary combustion of the wood fire are introduced into a secondary combustion chamber wherein these gases are mixed to recombust remaining fuel particles. Exhaust from the secondary combustion chamber enters a heat exchange chamber wherein the heat content of the exhaust gas is transferred to the cooking surface of the stove. The burning rate of both the primary and secondary combustion can be independently controlled by individually selecting the air supplies to the combustion areas. An inclined grate, in combination with the direction of the exhaust gases, provides a self feeding feature in which an even burning rate of the fire is insured.
