<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">That looks like a hopper-fed, crossdraft wood pellet gasifier. Maybe Alex E can comment as he builds such things.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">It looks well made. From the look of the combustion area, I think it will have high excess air.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">To Paul A: I think this is a wood pellet version of the KG4.4 coal stove without a tilted grate (which would help a lot if it was). The open space on the sides is going to allow too much air to get
into the flame. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The winner of the 2016 wood pellet burning competition at Livermore National Lab had a second place award for a stove that worked in this manner (hopper, baffle to prevent over-fill, air around),
except it was a downdraft stove. It also produced 50 Watts of electrical power – 2 amps, 25 VDC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Recently, I found that there are two new very interesting pellet stoves available in Chile. They use a new technology, that do not require electricity to operate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Both sites are in Spanish and have pictures and videos of the stoves in operation.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have seeing one in a store, and I think that the operation is very similar to a mini-rocket stove. The grate is small.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With this design, maybe it is possible to adapt it to design a cookstove with continuous and gravity pellet feed.<o:p></o:p></p>
