[0018] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 20 further comprises a first pipe body 200 and a second pipe body 201 connected to each other. The second pipe body 201 is connected to the combustion tube 21. The first pipe body 200 and the combustion tube 21 are each arranged vertically to ensure sufficient space for the combustion of wood pellets. The second pipe body 201 is arranged at an angle, this angular arrangement allowing wood pellets to fall under the influence of gravity from the first pipe body 200, through the second pipe body 201, into the combustion chamber, while simultaneously preventing flames from the combustion chamber from flashing back into the first pipe body 200.The first pipe body 200 is provided at the top with a lid 202, wherein the lid 202 is made of metal material, wherein the top of the lid 202 is provided with a round handle 30, wherein the handle 30 is attached to the lid 202 by welding to facilitate opening and closing the lid 202, and wherein when closing the lid 202, dust and foreign bodies are prevented from entering the feed pipe 20.
[0019] In the present embodiment, the furnace body 2 further comprises an ash storage tube 22.
