ABSTRACT:
A corn-burning stove provides cooling for the corn in-feed auger and other adjacent components by combustion inlet air flow patterns. The inlet air flow transports pellet fuel through a distance within the fire pot which varies responsive to the flow rate of the inlet air flow. A fire pot and agitator ensure, in combination with the inlet air flow, complete burning of the corn, with almost no ash production and while avoiding the formation of clinkers. The agitator is toothed, having teeth closely adjacent the burn pot for moving burning corn kernels or solid pellets across the fire pot. Retractable ignitors have handles and furnace function interlocks. A process control is associated with the corn burner that includes some logic, including interlock, power control, speed controls, sensing inputs/devices, and user interface.
