Abstract
A method and an apparatus for burning biomass briquettes are provided. The method described herein can create a fire from burning solid biomass that reduces the amount of smoke and harmful gas emissions (e.g., carbon monoxide), increases output power, and improves the combustion of the briquettes used as a solid fuel in a cooking apparatus (e.g., a cooking stove).
Claims20
A method for burning biomass briquettes, comprising:
- a) providing two or more biomass briquettes, wherein each biomass briquette has two main faces and one or more side faces;
- b) arranging the two or more biomass briquettes in one or more rows to increase heat exchange between adjacent biomass briquettes in each row,
- wherein each biomass briquette is placed on a side face so that a main face of one biomass briquette faces a main face of an adjacent biomass briquette in each row,
- wherein a space exists between the main faces of adjacent biomass briquettes in each row, and
- wherein the space between the main faces of adjacent biomass briquettes in each row is between 1 mm and 50 mm;
- c) igniting at least one biomass briquette;
- and
- d) creating a fire from burning of the two or more biomass briquettes.
5 more elements
A cooking apparatus, comprising:
- a combustion chamber;
- an air inlet, wherein the air inlet controls the flow of air into the combustion chamber;
- a briquette platform, wherein the briquette platform is located inside the combustion chamber configured to receive two or more biomass briquettes,
- wherein the two or more biomass briquettes are arranged on the briquette platform in one or more rows to increase heat exchange between adjacent biomass briquettes in each row,
- wherein each biomass briquette has two main faces and one or more side faces,
- wherein each biomass briquette is placed on a side face so that a main face of one biomass briquette faces a main face of an adjacent biomass briquette in each row,
- wherein a space exists between the main faces of adjacent biomass briquettes in each row, and
- wherein the space between the main faces of adjacent biomass briquettes in each row is between 1 mm and 50 mm;
- and
- a cooking housing, wherein the cooking housing sits above the combustion chamber.
