A rotary stocker is described for use in a combustion chamber comprising: (a) a grate for supporting burning fuel, the grate comprising a central stationary section and an outer rotating ring. The outer rotating ring has a rotating fuel supporting surface generally disposed in a downwardly and inwardly converging conical configuration; the central stationary section and the fuel supporting surface downwardly converging and overlapping to form a circular vertex lying within the radial confines of the combustion chamber; (b) a compartment located directly under the grate for supplying pressurized air through the grate of the fuel supported thereon; (c) air supply means for supplying pressurized air to the compartment; (d) means for continuously removing ash from the grate; and (e) means for rotating the outer ring with substantial circumferential movement about the central stationery section.
