Abstract
The invention is a novel Top-Lit-Updraft cook stove with internal forced primary and secondary air, designed to burn biomass. The cook stove is specifically designed to cleanly burn biomass. The stoves design innovations include a cylinder-within-cylinder design to provide heated, forced secondary to the burner area right below the burner. The burner design addresses limitations in previous cookstove burner design by implementing a bluff body design to direct syngas to the secondary air jets, improving mixing and combustion of volatile gases.
