Maybe similar to how fire actually works. The fuel (wood, paper, etc) is heated. The smoke that’s produced then burns when heated to its flash point temperature.
Rocket stove heaters work on that principle. I built one for my house years ago and the thing produces more heat than I could realistically use for basically twigs on the ground in my yard.
Gasifiers work on a similar principle where it uses the gases from the fuel to make an ICE run. They work as well but are very complex.
