Abstract: An improved fire grate may provide fresh oxygen rich air to a secondary combustion zone, created by the improved fire grate, of a combustion chamber where a combustion gas stream is typically oxygen starved assisting in the burning process of incompletely burned particulates and reducing other harmful emissions. A baffle plate may be introduced in the secondary combustion zone to increase a combustion chamber temperature, encourage mixing of oxygen starved air with oxygen rich air and increase a residence time of the combustion gas within the combustion chamber. These aspects of the baffle plate promote more efficient burning of the biomass/fuel. Additionally, log lighter(s) may be disposed in the secondary combustion zone to increase a temperature of the combustion chamber for the purposes of reducing harmful emissions. The improved fire grate may be horizontally and vertically adjusted to fit within different sized fireplace combustion chambers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to several embodiments or variations of a fire grate system for a low-emission outdoor fire pit or fire ring. Several of these variations use the same fundamental fire grate framework within the system and are adapted burn liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a common example of which is propane. A first embodiment of the invention may simulate a wood fire without burning wood by securely attaching artificial ceramic (or similarly constructed) fire logs to a LPG gas-burning fire grate framework. A second, alternative embodiment of the present invention is a gas/wood hybrid system and that uses LPG fuel to reduce emissions from a wood fire.
