Abstract

A method for combusting a wood log includes positioning the log within a combustion chamber with the log first end positioned above the log second end so that the log longitudinal axis is generally angled relative to and adjacent the chamber base wall and so that the log and the chamber base wall define a generally triangular air volume therebetween. The log is maintained in the angled configuration during at least part of the combustion process. A log supporting structure facilitates use of the method. The structure includes a supporting rod and a spacing base extending from the latter for resting on the base wall of a combustion chamber. The spacing base has a generally flaring configuration and allows gas to flow between the chamber base wall and the supporting rod in a first flow direction generally parallel to the supporting rod, and in a second flow direction generally perpendicular to and away from the rod from the log first end toward the log second end.
