This invention relates to a wood or coal burning stove having a bottom, sidewalls, front and rear end walls and a top. The front end wall has a wood or coal loading opening therein and a door normally closes the opening. The door is openable for loading of wood or coal into the stove through the opening. The top includes a stationary substantially horizontally extending tier remote from the front end wall and a further wall extending from the tier in a direction downward and toward the front end wall. The further wall defines a horizontally extending recess at the lower end thereof which opens in a direction toward the front end wall. The top further includes a lid pivotable about a horizontal axis, immediately adjacent the upper end of the further wall, from a normally closed substantially horizontally extending position in which the lid extends into the recess and effectively closes off the stove from the outside air to an open position, in which the lid swings out of the recess initially in a direction upwardly and toward the front end wall, for loading of wood or coal into the stove from the top. The lid comprises a planar section which when the lid is closed extends horizontally outwardly beyond the front end wall and the sidewalls. The lid also includes a lip section substantially perpendicular to and extending from the planar section. The lip section extends along in close proximity to and is parallel to the exterior of the front end wall and the sidewalls when the lid is closed to further effectively close off the stove to outside air.
