Abstract
There is a solid fuel combustion apparatus comprising a heated enclosure, a burner connected to the heated enclosure, and a means for providing a solid fuel from a solid fuel reservoir to the heated enclosure. The means for providing a solid fuel aspirates the solid fuel into the heated enclosure by creating a vacuum at a location in the heated enclosure. The vacuum establishes a pressure differential between the location in the heated enclosure and the solid fuel reservoir, which thereby aspirates the solid fuel from the reservoir to the heated enclosure where it is combusted by a flame from the burner.
