Abstract
An apparatus for combustion of biomass is provided. The apparatus generally includes opposingly paired sidewalls, a fixed panel traversing the opposingly paired sidewalls, an actuatable panel opposite the fixed panel, and a fuel platform supported by a panel of either of the panels. A portion of the fuel platform is reversibly receivable through a portion of a panel opposite the panel supporting the fuel platform in furtherance of fuel conditioning upon actuation of the actuatable panel.
Claims21
Apparatus for combustion of biomass comprising opposingly paired sidewalls, a fixed panel traversing said opposingly paired sidewalls, an actuatable panel opposite said fixed panel, and a fuel platform supported by a panel of either of said panels, a portion of said fuel platform reversibly receivable through a portion of a panel opposite said panel of either of said panels in furtherance of fuel conditioning upon actuation of said actuatable panel.
Apparatus for combustion of biomass comprising:
- a. opposingly paired sidewalls;
- b. a fixedly supported panel extending between said opposingly paired sidewalls, said fixedly supported panel characterized by lower, intermediate and upper panel regions, a single bend delimiting a transition between said lower and intermediate panel regions, a double bend delimiting a transition between said intermediate and upper panel regions;
- and,
- c. an actuatable panel operatively supported opposite said fixedly supported panel, a lower edge thereof overlaying said lower panel region of said fixedly supported panel.
Apparatus for combustion of biomass comprising:
- a. opposingly paired sidewalls;
- b. a fixedly supported panel extending between said opposingly paired sidewalls, said fixedly supported panel including a fuel conditioning shoulder extending there across and a plurality of spaced apart slots extending adjacent said fuel conditioning shoulder;
- and,
- c. a fuel conditioning panel, operatively supported in opposition to said fixedly supported panel such that an upper end portion of said fuel conditioning panel reversibly converges in relation to an upper end portion of said fixedly supported panel, said fuel conditioning panel equipped with a fuel support structure comprised of a plurality of spaced apart fingers, said fingers registerable for reversible, progressing receipt within slots of said plurality of spaced apart slots of said fixedly supported panel.
