Abstract
An improved fireplace heater for placement in a conventional fireplace. The heater is comprised of a hollow body having a number of interconnected, hollow sections adapted to fit substantially in place near the inner wall faces of the fireplace. The heater has front, open-end portions extending laterally of the fireplace opening to permit air to be drawn laterally into the heater itself and, after passing therethrough, to be driven laterally out of the heater. Means is provided in one of such front portions for creating a flow of air under pressure through the heater sections. The inner surface of each heater section is corrugated to increase the surface area thereof. The heater has adjustable legs and adjustable decorative panels to allow it to be adjusted for fireplaces of different sizes.
