Portable combustion device utilizing thermoelectrical generation

A combustion device comprising:

• a combustion chamber comprising an inner wall defining a combustion space that contains, and is in communication with, a biomass fuel source and an outer wall having a side-mounted interface port allowing access of airflow into the combustion space enclosed within the outer wall;
• a thermoelectric generator (TEG) housing located outside the outer wall and including at least one thermally connected heat-conducting probe on a hot side thereof that extends into the combustion space, the TEG further including a heat sink thermally connected to a cold side thereof;
• a cooking surface including a baffle, the baffle being moveable between an open condition and a closed condition;
• and
• a motorized airflow driver electrically connected to the TEG and constructed and arranged to drive air from an ambient source, over the heat sink and into the interface port so as to generate a positive pressure in the combustion space.
