Abstract: A simple and highly efficient fuel handling and combustion system and method are provided. The system includes preheating coils surrounding a perforated outer secondary air cylinder and a perforated inside fire control cone, in which combustion occurs. After flowing through the preheating coils, the fuel is compressed in at least one compression chamber before being released to the interior of the inside fire control cone through a spud orifice. Air mixes with the fuel only after the fuel is released from the spud. Substantially 100% combustion is achieved.
