Title: Baffled stove

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6512005

A baffled stove is described having a generally rectangular heating structure with its lower or bottom portion adapted to form a firebox for receiving fuel such as wood or coal. A primary air passageway is provided for introducing air into the heating structure at or near the level of the firebox. Controls are also provided to adjust the quantity of primary air introduced into the heating structure. A hinged door is mounted in the front door of the rectangular heating structure for introducing fuel into the firebox. A secondary air inlet is in communication with a conduit positioned in a plane horizontal to the firebox to provide a baffle for directing the flow of the products of combustion and also for preheating the secondary air as it passes therethrough. The preheated air exits at a point opposite to the secondary air inlet. The gases of combustion and smoke circulate circuitously through the fire chamber and comingles with the preheated secondary air as it exits from the horizontal conduit to produce additional or secondary burning. The unused air and final products of combustion are carried to the atmosphere through a flue outlet located at or near the top of the heating structure on a side opposite to the secondary air outlet.
