The guide member serves to hold the head portion of the burning sleeve when the oil stove falls forward and then the burning sleeve is tilted from the normal position. The tilted burning sleeve is then displaced due to its dead weight in such a direction as to be parted away from the hot dish so that quick extinguishment and prevention of generation of incompletely burnt gas are ensured. The guide member constitutes a part of the guard in such a manner that it extends in parallel to the fence rods and is welded to the guard at both the ends thereof. The guide member may have a flattened M-shaped configuration as seen from the above while it is attached to the guard. Alternatively, it may have an arcuate bent …
