How does a chimney torch work and why is a chimney torch so safe?

​

Safety lies in the operating principles of the fireplace burner.

An ordinary fireplace works very simply. Firewood oxidizes to carbon dioxide and water when burned.

With a chimney torch, the combustion process is a bit more complicated.

In the combustion chamber, the pellets are oxidized with a certain amount of air to form carbon monoxide and methane. Then the combustible and hot gas rises through the gas pipe into the complete oxidation chamber. The complete oxidation chamber consists of a special iron adapter and a glass tube. The lower adapter has a gas line and ducts for sucking in atmospheric air. The gases mix in a glass tube and the oxidation process comes to an end. That is, carbon dioxide and water vapor come out of the glass tube. The final oxidation process is an ordinary flame.

The combustion chamber also has additional devices for smooth operation of the chimney torch.

The devices are two tubes. One tube is a hot gas collector, and the second tube is for heating atmospheric air. The second tube does not reach the end of the gas line and is an additional means of igniting the gas mixture in the complete oxidation chamber. Simply put, the second tube is like a lit lighter under a glass tube.

And all these processes are ongoing.

Security!

One only has to drop or break the glass, one of the processes will be interrupted and the flame will immediately go out.

Wood pellets also do not require special storage containers and are non-flammable.
