1. A depot for granular carbonaceous fuel comprising,basket means of refractory material for supporting said granular fuel and ashes thereof during combustion of the fuel,said basket means including an array of substantially vertical porous flues therethrough for upward flow of air through the flues during combustion of the granular fuel contained in the basket means, which air flow provides oxygen for combustion of granular fuel contained in the basket means, said flues having predetermined dimensions such that feedback of heat across flues between opposing flue surfaces provides for rapid high-temperature combustion of said granular fuel,said basket means preventing movement of said granular material and ashes into the flues and resultant restriction of air flow through the flues during combustion of the granular fuel.
