Power gas burner for wood stove

A power burner adaptable for use in conjunction with a woodburning stove comprising:

• blower means selectively energizable to produce a flow of air;
• fuel supply means including a fuel inlet, a delivery conduit and a fuel valve activatable to provide selective fuel communication between said fuel inlet and said conduit;
• fuel nozzle means having a first inlet communicating with said air flow, a second inlet communicating with said delivery conduit and a nozzle outlet means for mixing air and fuel and propelling the mixture of air and fuel through said nozzle outlet means along a generally unidirectional exit path;
• secondary nozzle means communicating with said air flow for directing a secondary air stream in the vicinity of the mixture in said exit path;
• a target spaced from said nozzle outlet means and interposed in the exit path;
• heating means spaced from said target to heat said target to a temperature sufficient to ignite the mixture traversing the exit path;
• a blast tube surrounding said target and forming an axially extending passageway having an outlet opening;
• and
• electronic control means automatically responsive to an operational condition so that when said condition is satisfied and fuel is supplied to the fuel inlet, said blower means is energized, said fuel valve is activated and said target is heated to combust fuel in said blast tube and propel said combusted fuel toward the outlet opening of said blast tube.
