To reduce the conventional energy consumption in rural area of China, tobacco stems briquetting (TSB) was used as fuel during the process of tobacco flue-curing, compared with honeycomb briquette (HB). Three fire furnaces with different heat exchangers using TSB were compared using the tobacco flue-curing. The results showed that the smog temperature of TSB was higher than that of HB, the efficiency of bio-fuel system with TSB was from 43.5% to 54%, while the efficiency of traditional fuel system was 51.5%. And the cost of tobacco flue-curing per hectare with TSB and HB was $750.0 and $1282.5, respectively. It is proved that TSB is an alternative choice using for the industry of tobacco flue-curing, and the improvement in the structure of fire furnace could optimize the process of tobacco flue-curing.
