Abstract

A heating coil in a firebox above a burner is connected to a hot water radiator positioned between the firebox and a hot air outlet. A usual short flue pipe between the firebox and a draft diverter is replaced by a plurality of longer flue pipes of smaller diameter spaced above the firebox for transferring heat to air that is flowing to space that is being heated.
