  • Publication number: 20220404021
    Abstract: A combustion device includes a combustion chamber with an outer wall enclosing a combustion space that can contain a fuel source on an adjustable fuel rack, side walls, a lower air jet tube and at least one air upper jet tube, a top opening, a grill top assembly to cover the opening, and a detachable power module. The power module can have batteries and a blower. The blower can force ambient air into a manifold, through the jet tubes, through ports in the jet tubes, and into the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 10342385
    Abstract: This invention provides a portable combustion device that provides a cleaner combustion, provides a more efficient overall combustion through the use of a fan that directs a predetermined volume of airflow over the combustible fuel—typically wood or similar cellulose-based biological solids and provides a cooking surface that is a grill top. The combustion device has a combustion chamber into which the fuel source is placed for combustion. Mounted to the side of the combustion chamber is a housing that encloses the TEG, which generates an electrical output, based on a difference in temperature on opposing sides. Mounted onto the TEG housing and protruding into the combustion chamber through a small passageway is a heat-conducting probe and heat-conducting probe base unit.
