    It is equipped with a combustor, an oven and a chimney, which are connected each other. Biomass burns completely in the combustor and hot flue gas flows to the insulated oven through the suction effect of the chimney. The device functions in down draft principle for which a uniform temperature in the oven is easily maintained. Smoke & pollution are reduced drastically due to complete combustion of fuels in the combustor.
