The chain grate stoker is a gradual feed appliance, delivering coal steadily and regularly to the fire. Fresh coal is fed into the furnace beneath the boiler, but the furnrce is made of brick and closed up in such a manner that the walls are able to carry intense heat, and the furnace becomes a reserve of heat capable of immediately igniting the gases liberated by the fresh coal as it is put on the fire.
