Abstract

A fire grate includes a fire grate body and a flame stabilizer. The fire grate body has a main gas channel formed therein. A main gas outlet is formed at a top of the fire grate body and in communication with the main gas channel, and a communication opening is formed at a side of the fire grate body and in communication with the main gas channel. The flame stabilizer is disposed outside the fire grate body and forms an auxiliary gas channel together with the fire grate body. The auxiliary gas channel is in communication with the communication opening. The flame stabilizer also has an auxiliary gas outlet formed at a top of the flame stabilizer and in communication with the auxiliary gas channel.
