Abstract

A stove for burning combustible materials having a fire box at least in part lined with a fire resistant lining and having an opening across a front surface thereof, said opening defined by a hearth and an upper lip and equipped with pivotally mounted door means mounted for rotation within the stove along horizontally disposed axes so that the opening can be effectively closed by rotation of the upper and lower doors into their closed position. The hearth may be equipped with an upstanding transparent panel to permit viewing of the fire when the doors are open. Access to the fire box for insertion of additional flammable materials is provided by a door means positioned at the end of said fire box. Protection for the transparent panel to prevent logs from rolling against it may be provided by elongated means extending across the front opening at or above the rearward portion of the hearth.
