Request advice on finding book of boiler fundamentals

Hello,
I am an electrical engineer. I would like to get a good fundamental understanding of wood boilers as used in small power plants. I am interested in understand the basic parts and functions of the boiler, and the chemistry and thermodynamics of the combustion cycle. Can someone please recommend a good book which would suit this purpose?

thanks
