ABSTRACT:
A pellet fired stove has a rotating fuel feed cylinder for reliably and uniformly transporting pellet fuel from a hopper to the stove's combustion chamber. An open upstream end of the rotatable hollow feed cylinder communicates with a hopper containing solid fuel, such as wood pellets. The downstream end of the cylinder opens into a fuel chute leading to the combustion chamber. The fuel pellets from the hopper spill into the rotating hollow feed cylinder and form a sloping pellet bank within the cylinder. The rotation of the cylinder agitates the sloping bank of fuel sufficiently to cause a uniform quantity of fuel per cylinder revolution to be separated from the fuel bank and discharged from the cylinder into a combustion chamber.
