Milligan, O J

A freestanding stove is provided including an elevated firebox mounted atop a tubular pedestal having a horizontally enlarged downwardly opening hollow base at its lower end. The firebox includes a combustion air inlet opening downwardly into the pedestal and the lower end of the pedestal opens downwardly into the hollow base which includes a damper for controlling the flow of combustion air from within the hollow base into the lower end of the pedestal. The base includes feet supporting the base a spaced distance above a horizontal surface upon which the feet rest and the feet are removable whereby the base may rest directly upon and over a horizontal support surface upwardly through which a combustion air opening is formed. The front of the firebox includes an openable transparent window equipped door and combustion air inlet passage structure for sweeping curtains of combustion air across the inner surface of the window from selected marginal portions thereof. The firebox further includes first, second and third stage combustion air inlets and the rear of the firebox includes a reversible smoke outlet fitting whereby the by-products of combustion may exhaust directly into either a horizontal or vertical outlet pipe. The door is reversibly mounted on the front of the firebox and rear upwardly extending exterior surfaces of the firebox include air blower structure operatively associated therewith for blowing ambient air across the firebox surfaces in intimate heat transfer relation therewith.
