A detachable fuel feeder device for use with wood stoves is disclosed comprising an inclined fuel storage chamber adapted for alignment with the door opening of the wood stove, a dog clamp for detachably mounting the chamber to the wood stove, a door pivotally mounted to the storage chamber, a releasable catch selectively holding the door to close off the storage chamber, and a sensor to sense the amount of combusting wood fuel in the combustion chamber of the wood stove and being operationally connected to the catch to actuate the catch upon sensing a predetermined amount of combusting wood fuel. Alternative sensors are disclosed for sensing the height of combusting fuel, the weight of combusting fuel and a predetermined amount of heat. An alternate embodiment discloses a generally horizontal fuel storage chamber having a spring-loaded pusher element for injecting wood fuel into the combustion chamber.
