En anglais, on parle surtout du dispositif d'alimentation en combustible du foyer (stoker); en français, on parle plutôt de l'endroit où a lieu la combustion (foyer) et où est logé l'organe de combustion qui est la grille. Il est à noter que selon le LAROG, le foyer "est à la fois un lieu et un ensemble d'appareils ou d'organes [...]". MOMON utilise foyer au sens de dispositif. 8, record 5, French, - dispositif%20d%27alimentation%20m%C3%A9canique
