PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION
OPERATION
Air curtain burners are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a diesel
engine driven fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particular mass
flow and velocity. This curtain of air acts as a trap over the top of an earthen trench or
thermal ceramic lined firebox. The wood debris is dumped into the trench or firebox
and then ignited (usually with a propane torch and with a small amount of diesel) just
as you would light any other pile of wood you intended to burn. Once the fire has
gained strength, the air curtain is turned on. The air curtain traps most of the smoke
particles and causes them to re-burn under the air curtain where the temperatures ex-
ceed 1,800º F. These machines do not inject any fuels into the fire, the fire is sustained
only by adding more wood debris. The air from the air curtain is not heated. The only
fuel used in the continuous operation is that of the diesel engine driven fan.

OPERATING MANUAL
All of this is carefully engineered to provide the correct amount of air at the correct
velocity. It is sometimes thought that more air flow will actually increase the burn
rate. This is INCORRECT. Modifying the air flow will actually have the opposite
effect and reduce the machine’s throughput. Additionally, it will reduce the ma-
chine’s ability to meet air quality minimum standards. There is a maximum rate at
which wood can burn. Trying to exceed that rate by adding more air to an air cur-
tain burner causes two major problems:
1) It will cool the fire reducing combustion efficiency creating more smoke (carbon
dioxide and nitrogen enriched). This will begin a circular effect of further reduc-
ing the oxygen and further reducing combustion efficiency. The result is that
your throughput drops and smoke increases.
2) Increasing the air flow beyond design standards will over pressurize the firebox
causing significantly more particles (embers) to be ejected from the firebox.
Besides violating the EPA limits for PM (particulate matter) the larger hotter
embers ejected will pose a much greater fire hazard.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BURNBOSS
The BurnBoss is a proven design that adds mobility to the Air Burners FireBox line of
machines. When delivered to a job site, the machine is ready for use as soon as it is
off-loaded. The FireBox system is built on a patented trailer frame that allows the fire-
box to be raised and lowered for easy movement over the ground. The forward equip-
ment deck under the cowling supports a two cylinder diesel engine, a 10 gallon fuel
tank, the direct drive system and the air fan. In addition the battery, firebox hydraulic
controls are located here. When viewed from the front of the unit, the patented air dis-
bursement manifold is mounted on the left top side of the combustion chamber.
The diesel engine is directly coupled to the air fan. The high velocity air is sent down
the manifold through the vanes and directed to the outlet nozzles. A balanced and dis-
tributed air flow is directed across the top of the firebox and then reflected down into
the combustion zone.
The curtain of air acts as a top over the firebox, trapping a large percentage of the es-
caping particulate matter (smoke) and causing it to burn down even further under the
curtain before finally escaping through the curtain as a hot gas. The air from the noz-
zles travels across the firebox creating the air curtain effect, then it reflects off the far
side thermo-ceramic wall adding oxygen to the combustion zone helping to generate a
hotter more complete fire. This additional agitation helps prevent the fire from starving
for oxygen as the ash builds up during burning operations.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
READ ALL SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL
BEFORE YOU BEGIN BURNING OPERATIONS
The machine operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis; it is very important that
each and every individual involved with the machine be alert and practice very rigid
safety precautions.
When you are running the BurnBoss you are responsible for assuring that it is operat-
ed in the safest possible manner at all times. If you notice something wrong, correct it
immediately, and if you cannot correct it, find someone who can and/or shut down the
machine.
Basic Safety Points:
1) The unit must be placed on cleared, level ground.
The unit should be placed on level ground to facilitate loading, dumping and
moving of the unit. The firebox must touch the ground on all four sides or
smoke and embers will escape.
2) The unit should be placed such that no combustible material is stored
within a minimum 100 foot clearance in any direction.
The BurnBoss does not have a bottom and should not be located over com-
bustibles such as dry grass or peat moss. In addition hot embers will escape
from the unit and, depending on the wind, will land on the ground around the
unit. The machine should not be located within 100 feet of any stored combus-
tible materials. The waste material to be burned during the day’s operation can
be staged within the 100 foot perimeter to facilitate loading. The operator must
monitor the loading pile to insure embers do not ignite the loading pile. The
combustible materials to be stored for burning at a later date must be stored
outside the 100 foot perimeter or in accordance with the chart on page 6 of this
manual which suggests adjustments for wind speed.
3) The unit should not be operated when the wind speeds reach 20 MPH, as
the potential to carry hot embers is significantly increased.
As an operator you should always be aware of wind speed and direction. In-
creased wind speed will affect the integrity of the “air curtain” and will cause hot
embers to travel farther. See the wind speed chart regarding suggested set-
back on page 6.
DANGER:
Watch for the danger notices throughout this manual.

BurnBoss® T24 Air Curtain Burner (Kubota Z482-E4 Engine)
OPERATING MANUAL
4) NEVER use highly combustible materials to light the unit.
Highly combustible materials such as gasoline, refined spirits, etc. ignite at an
explosive rate which may cause serious injury or death. The safest method to
start the fire in the box is to use materials such as and kindling wood. In the ab-
sence of these materials or when starting materials with a high moisture con-
tent, use diesel fuel as an acceptable option.
5) NEVER climb on the unit or lean over to view or light the fire.
Always load and operate the machine from the MANIFOLD side. Hot embers
will escape at a low height opposite the manifold. The left side (opposite the
manifold) of the machine must be restricted access to prevent injury.
6) Shut the unit down in an emergency.
Stop loading the unit, stop the air flow by shutting down the engine. Dump dirt or
sand onto the fire. Water should only be used as a last resort as it will likely
damage the refractory panels.

20 500' 250' 200'
DANGER: The above distances serve as a GUIDELINE ONLY! You
MUST ALWAYS observe the down range area regardless of the wind
speed. You must always observe local fire ordinances and directives
from the local fire department or other competent authorities.
DANGER:
Falling into the fire box will cause serious injury or death.
DO NOT stand within 20 feet of the Firebox on the side opposite the manifold.

7) Personal Safety
Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards:
A) Flying hot embers being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within
a 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing.
The ideal outwear for an operator would include a Nomex jacket, leather gloves,
eye protection, hard hat, cotton work jeans and steel toe boots. Operators
should never wear synthetic material (i.e. polyester) around the fire, as this type
of material can melt and cause injury. Additionally, some synthetic materials will
support combustion and could be very dangerous around fire. One hundred
percent cotton materials would be the minimum, cotton treated with a fire retard-
ant would be better and fire proof materials, like Nomex would be best.
B) Noise, ear protection is recommended around the machines. It is a
good practice to wear approved ear protection when working in close proximity
to the fan and engine.
C) Hot Panels. The backs of the thermo-ceramic panels and parts of the or-
ange or green structure can reach temperatures as high as 500°F. Caution
should be taken to insure operator and visitors do not come in contact with
these hot areas.
D) Ash and dust can be released during the operation and during cleaning.
Operators should wear appropriate breathing masks (Personal Protective Equip-
ment - PPE) to protect themselves from inhaling the dust and fly ash.
DANGER: You must insure combustible debris does not build up on the
equipment. It must be keep clean at all times during operation to prevent a
fire that would damage or destroy the engine and accessories.

HOW TO TRANSPORT THE MACHINE
Towing BurnBoss T24
Towing the T24 model is like towing any other “heavy” trailer. It is important that the
frame rails are as level as possible when hooked to the truck. The T24 comes
equipped with electric brakes, be sure your truck has an appropriate “brake controller”
or contact Air Burners Customer Ser-
vice for information. Models shipped
from the Factory after September 1,
2021 are fitted with self-adjusting
brakes. They are adjusted each time
the T24 is backed up.
The T24 is also fitted with a breaka-
way system. Make sure the battery is
charged and the pig tail is properly
connected to the towing vehicle, so
that the brakes and lights will function and the breakaway battery be charged (Refer
also to page 28). Be sure your hitch assembly is rated for the towing weight 9,983 lbs.
(4528kg) and tongue weight of 1200 lbs. (544kg).
Always maintain correct tire pressure to prevent premature wear and blow outs. Con-
sult the tire decal inside the fuel tank access door. Should the need arise to move the
BurnBoss a distance of more than 100 or 200 miles, it is recommended to transport it
on a suitable trailer rather than towing it on the road.
TOWING and TRUCK CONNECTION
1) The BurnBoss lower trailer frame rail MUST be level
to the ground when connected to the towing vehicle.
2) The electrical “pigtail” connection must be properly
made. Check the electric brakes, break-away system
and lights to make sure they operate properly.
3) The front jack stand must be up and secure.
4) Make sure the FireBox safety pins in front and rear
are properly secured for travel (see Page 10).
5) The safety chains and breakaway cable must be properly connected to the truck.
6) Test the brakes before you drive away.
DANGER: The BurnBoss lower trailer frame rail MUST be level to the ground
when connected to the tow vehicle or significant accident and/or injury may occur.
Always test the electric brakes before towing the BurnBoss to confirm that they op-
erate properly.

HOW TO TRANSPORT THE MACHINE
B) LOWERING THE FIREBOX FOR USE
1) The FireBox must be on level ground.
2) The machine should be disconnected from the tow vehicle.
3) The front jack stand should be down and secure.
4) Battery switch (if equipped) must be on to operate hydraulic controls.
5) Raise the firebox to release the load on the safety pins.
6) Remove the safety pins at each end of the firebox.
7) Lower the FireBox until it contacts the ground.
8) Shovel dirt around the inside edges where the firebox contacts the ground to
prevent heat and smoke from leaking out, especially behind the tires.
Hydraulic Oil
If you are operating in cold weather you may need to warm the hydraulic oil before
use. In most cases running the engine for 30 minutes will generate enough heat. If you
still have difficulties operating the hydraulic system you will need to change the oil to a
colder spec oil. Your machine’s hydraulic system comes standard from the factory with
Am Soil Synthetic hydraulic oil ISO32 (Am Soil P/N HVH05-EA). If your machine will
operate in cold temperatures or remain outside for long periods in cold temperatures
you will need to use a synthetic hydraulic oil such as Am Soil P/N HVG05-EA, ISO22.
Your machine’s hydraulic system holds approximately 2.16 gallons (8.18 liters) of fluid.

5) Install the safety pins.
6) Make all safety chain and truck to machine electrical connections (as applicable).
7) Insure you have read the section on “TOWING” (page 8) prior to moving the
machine.
DANGER: Do not tow the machine without the safety pins in-
stalled as the hydraulic actuators may bleed down dropping the fire-
box on the road which may cause injury or death.
DANGER: If the FireBox contains hot ash then it must be moved
immediately after it is raised to prevent damage to the tires.

OPERATING MANUAL
HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE
A) POSITIONING THE UNIT
The BurnBoss unit is self-contained and ready to use upon delivery to the job site.
1) The BurnBoss must be setup on level ground.
2) The firebox is lowered to the ground using the hydraulic controls (see page 12).
3) The bottom edges of the firebox must touch the ground to insure smoke and embers
will not escape underneath the firebox walls. If necessary shovel some dirt into
(INSIDE) the firebox to seal the edges. This must be done prior to loading the fire-
box. Add dirt around the bottom behind the tires to prevent any heat from damag-
ing the tires.
4) With respect to the prevailing wind direction, the unit should be positioned such that
the wind comes over the back of the manifold. This is the preferred position. It is
also acceptable to have the wind blow into the manifold. It is discouraged, however,
to have the wind come from either end of the machine, as this will tend to disrupt
the air curtain.
5) The firebox will be loaded either by hand or by machine OVER THE MANIFOLD.
The firebox should not be loaded opposite the manifold as there are many hot em-
bers in this area making it dangerous for personnel.
6) Secure the area (orange safety cones, signs, fencing, etc.) opposite the manifold
(20’ x 20’ see diagram below) and along the side of the machine to insure person-
nel do not get near the hot fire or embers.
DANGER: Load the machine over the Manifold to prevent hot em-
bers from endangering personnel.

HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE
C) STARTING (Kubota Z482-E4)
Turn the speed control knob clockwise to en-
sure engine speed is at idle.
If needed, turn key switch counterclockwise to
the PREHEAT position for not more than 5
seconds.
Turn the key switch clockwise to the RUN po-
sition.
The gauges will register to confirm that power
is supplied to the panel.
Start the engine by turning the key switch all
the way clockwise to “START”, then release
key switch, and warm up the engine at idle
speed of 1,000 RPM for 5 to 10 minutes.
Shut the engine down to prepare for loading
and lighting (see pages 16-18 for loading and
lighting instructions). The fan is direct-drive,
so leaving the engine running during light-
ing will make it more difficult to light.
Once running, the engine speed may be var-
ied as required by turning the speed control
knob clockwise to decrease, counter clock-
wise to increase.
The maximum engine speed is governed to
provide the correct amount of air flow.

SITE PREPARATION
THE GOALS TO GOOD SITE PREPARATION ARE:
To place the BurnBoss for easy access.
To sort the waste wood pile.
To organize the inflow of new wood waste.
When locating the BurnBoss;
1) Consider access for your truck and trailer to load and unload the FireBox. Ensure
there is enough room to maneuver your truck and trailer.
2) Consider where the waste piles will be located. We generally recommend two waste
piles (explained in next Section).
3) Consider the predominate wind direction. Hot embers will be escaping from the fire-
box during all burning operations.
4) Consider clearances to empty the FireBox. The unit must raised and towed forward
until all the ash remains behind. When emptying, the tires can not come in contact
with the hot embers or they will be damaged. In most cases cold ash can be reap-
plied to the land. Check your local ordinances.
5) Once the BurnBoss is in position, it is important to place dirt around the inside bot-
tom of the firebox where the thermos-ceramic panels meet the ground to “seal” the
bottom. This will prevent smoke and heat from escaping. Pay particular attention to
the seal between the tires and firebox and between the front wall and engine bay.
DANGER: This machine DOES NOT prevent hot embers from escaping.
This machine is designed primarily as a pollution control device to reduce
the smoke generated from open pile burning clean wood waste.
DANGER: Never dig a pit in the center of the FireBox. This will allow high level
heat to destroy the bottom of the T24 BurnBoss, voiding the warranty.

SITE PREPARATION
Faster operation through staging the wood piles
Air Burners air curtain burners were designed primarily as a pollution control device but
operated correctly they will burn clean wood two or three times faster than open pile
burning. To achieve the best throughput the fire must remain at the highest tempera-
ture possible. You achieve this by remembering three rules;
1) Don’t smother the fire with a huge load or a load of very dense material.
2) Load “less more often” smaller bucket loads more often.
3) Sort out a pile of your best burnable wood, use it to create a hot fire.
The basic principle of operation is not too different from a campfire. You use your best
wood to get it started and if the fire dies down you add some more “Good Wood” to
bring it back up. The big difference is that on your campfire you are probably not add-
ing root balls and leaves and pine needles. These are the high moisture content and
dense materials that bring the fire temperature down.
The temperature drops (smoke increases) and your burn rate slows down, if you over-
load the machine with materials that have high moisture content such as tree branches
with leaves and needles, or green branches such as palm fronds. While these are cer-
tainly ok to burn in the BurnBoss, you want to add them to a hot fire, so they dry out
and ignite quickly.
To keep the temperature up and to
maintain the highest throughput of
waste, you should mix the very burn-
able wood with the less burnable
materials throughout the course of
the burning operation. The most
common way to accomplish this is to
stage a pile of the most burnable
materials or what we call the “two
pile system.”
“If it’s burning clean, it’s burning hot, If there is smoke, you’re losing money.”

OPERATING MANUAL
SITE PREPARATION
The “Two Pile System”
For an efficient operation you would have two piles:
The first pile or “main debris” pile, is the material being generated from the land clear-
ing or forest clearing operation and is located away from the ember path but with good
access to your loading machinery.
The second pile or “Good Wood” pile is your best and most burnable wood. When you
first setup the site the operator should spend some time sorting through the main de-
bris pile pulling out what appears to be your best and most burnable materials. This is
the material you will start the fire with, this is the material that will give you a good hot
burning base fire. You will also draw from the “Good Wood” pile throughout the day if
you should need to stoke up the fire (more on this in the following sections).
As the BurnBoss operator is drawing from the main debris pile throughout the day he
should continue to replenish the “Good Wood” pile as necessary. The “Good Wood”
pile only needs to be enough material to stoke-up the fire if needed and enough mate-
rial to get you started the next day.
DANGER: You must insure debris does not build up on the machine. It
must be kept clean at all times during operation to prevent a fire that would
damage or destroy the engine and accessories.
IMPORTANT WARNING ABOUT BURNING OF PALLETS
Wooden Pallets, especially spent pallets burn extremely hot. DO NOT load
the BurnBoss above approximately 3/4 of the height of the firebox. Heat
damage to the manifold and other structure may occur which would not be
covered under your Limited Factory Warranty.
