A heater stove apparatus is disclosed as including an enclosed stove housing having a fire chamber in which a suitable fuel is burned for heating. A heat collector manifold is provided for receiving the combustion products from the fire chamber and a plurality of heat pipes extend between the fire chamber and the heat manifold for delivery of heat and combustion products to the heat collection manifold. An air flow path extends generally vertically the height of the heat pipes and horizontally along one of the dimensions of the stove housing with the path being defined in part by the bottom surface of the heat manifold in an upper surface of the fire chamber. A means is provided for circulating air generally through the stove housing along the air flow path. A unique draft door arrangement is provided which rids the fire chamber of smoke prior to the door being opened for access to the interior of the fire chamber.
