Quick summary

Burner devices are devices that consume burnable fuels to operate instead of relying on electricity. Devices that consume other types of fuels (e.g. uranium fuel cells) are not considered "burner devices". Fuel slots can be filtered in the same way as a player inventory slot (Middle mouse button by default) to restrict the device to one specific type and quality of fuel per slot.

Burner devices are commonly used early in the game before an electric system has been constructed, and as a source of electricity before more advanced methods of power production have been researched. Burner devices can also be used later in the game in remote locations where electrical power would be difficult to set up. Burner devices tend to be significant sources of pollution.

All vehicles except the spidertron are burner devices.

In Space Age, the biochamber is considered a burner device, and it is the only such device that can be placed on space platforms.

Devices which happen to be using a fuel item as an ingredient in a crafting recipe are not considered burner devices. For example, a chemical plant making plastic bars consumes coal, but chemical plants do not count as burner device.
