Abstract

The present invention relates to a grid used in stoves which comprises innovative technical and functional characteristics capable of increasing the thermal efficiency of the burners. More preferably, the grid according to the present invention comprises an upper crown ( 1 ) provided with a series of fins ( 2 ) arranged around the burner ( 3 ), these fins ( 2 ) form passage and distribution channels ( 4 ) of hot gases, and extend to the underside of crown ( 1 ), within an air and/or fuel passage chamber ( 5 ) in which it is preheated before the combustion itself.
