A solid fuel burning cabinet circular heating appliance achieves improved emissions performance by providing a secondary air combustion path that preheats secondary combustion air. The firebox is selectively insulated such that areas of the firebox that do not preheat combustion air retain heat in the firebox while areas of the firebox that transfer heat into the combustion air transfer heat through the firebox into the incoming combustion air. The exhaust air path from the firebox to a chimney is also uninsulated to allow relatively quick heat transfer into a room in which the appliance is installed.

Cabinet circulator solid fuel heater combustion system

A single burn rate woodstove provides primary combustion air and secondary combustion air to a combustion chamber of the woodstove. The woodstove includes a primary air inlet, a primary air outlet into the combustion chamber, and a secondary air outlet into the combustion chamber. Some embodiments of the inventions include secondary air inlet(s) for the secondary combustion air separate from the primary air inlet. Some embodiments of the invention include the same firebox sizes as known in the prior art while providing such inexpensive single burn rate woodstoves with improved emissions performance by using both primary and secondary combustion air.

The present disclosure provides woodstoves that, optionally, produce low emissions. In certain embodiments, the woodstove includes a housing, a firebox disposed in the housing, an air regulator and a secondary air pipe. The air regulator includes a primary air aperture configured to supply primary air to a fire located in the firebox, a plurality of secondary air apertures configured to supply secondary air to a combustible gas emitted by the fire, and a secondary air damper. The present disclosure also provides methods of operating such a woodstove. As measured according to Method 28 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the weighted average emission rate of the woodstove of certain embodiments of the invention is no greater than about 4.5 grams of particulate emissions per hour.
