Smart fuel burning system and method of operating same

A system configured to generate heat when supplied with at least one fuel, the system comprising:

• a fuel supply line operatively connected to a fuel source, the fuel supply line being configured to convey the at least one fuel;
• a valve assembly operatively connected to the fuel supply line, the valve assembly being configured to control a flow of the at least one fuel therethrough;
• at least one main burner operatively connected to the valve assembly, the at least one main burner being configured to generate heat;
• a thermoelectric generating system operatively connected to the valve assembly, the thermoelectric generating system being configured to transform heat to electricity and including at least one pilot burner, the at least one pilot burner including at least one flame sensor, wherein the thermoelectric generating system includes:
• a thermoelectric generating plate,
• a heating block, and
• a burner configured to heat the heating block,
• wherein the thermoelectric generating plate is disposed on one side of the heating block and is configured to generate electricity when there is a temperature difference between an upper side and a lower side thereof;
• and
• a printed circuit board (PCB) operatively connected to the valve assembly and the at least one pilot burner, the PCB being configured to control operation of the valve assembly based on information received from the at least one pilot burner.
