Abstract
A stove apparatus which is designed to achieve relatively complete combustion of solid fuel such as wood or coal. A combustion chamber is defined by a connected wall housing and includes a primary flue opening at an upper rear portion thereof. Primary combustion air enters into the forward portion of the combustion chamber and the resultant combustion gases are deflected from normally passing to the chimney via the primary exit flue by means of a downwardly extending baffle which creates an increased temperature exit zone adjacent thereto. A device for introducing secondary combustion directly into said exit zone is provided so as to insure more complete combustion and reduce the amount of tars, i.e., creosote, produced in the combustion process. In addition, an unique device for regulating the amount and the combustion chamber is provided.
