Abstract
A wood pellet patio heater having a rocket stove with a replaceable cartridge, secondary air control, and a heat reflector is described. The rocket stove having the replaceable cartridge of the wood pellet patio heater provides increased efficiency (i.e. less consumption of fuel over time). The secondary air control of the wood pellet patio heater facilitates combustion, and thus provides temperature control, where temperature control will require varying amounts of air depending on the quality of the fuel source. The heat dome provides increased heat profile.
Claims20
A wood pellet patio heater, the wood pellet patio heater comprising:
- a heat reflector, the heat reflector having a dome shape, wherein
- the heat reflector is in mechanical communication with a chimney at a top of the chimney,
- the chimney having a tubular shape, where the chimney directs heat from secondary combustion of a fuel source to the heat reflector, wherein
- the chimney is in mechanical communication with a chimney ledge on an air mixing manifold of a rocket stove;
- the rocket stove comprising,
- a primary combustion chamber, where the primary combustion chamber initially combusts the fuel source, wherein
- a first end of the primary combustion chamber is open to atmosphere, and a second end of the primary combustion chamber is received perpendicularly by the air mixing manifold,
- a replaceable cartridge, where the replaceable cartridge receives the fuel source for combustion, the replaceable cartridge removably residing in an interior of the primary combustion chamber, the replaceable cartridge comprising
- rods, the rods sloping downward from a back of the replaceable cartridge to a front of the replaceable cartridge terminating in a barrier, the rods being are parallel to each other, and where the rods are spaced to prevent the fuel source from falling between the rods during combustion, and
- supports, the supports are on each side and the back of the replaceable cartridge to provide structural support to the rods, and
- the barrier, the barrier at the front of the replaceable cartridge, perpendicular to the rods, and
- the air mixing manifold, the air mixing manifold configured to promote secondary combustion, wherein
- the air mixing manifold is in mechanical communication with a base;
- and a hopper, where the hopper delivers the fuel source to the replaceable cartridge of the primary combustion chamber, wherein
- the hopper is in mechanical communication with a top of the primary combustion chamber and is in mechanical communication with the air mixing manifold via the primary combustion chamber.
