Abstract: A prefabricated fireplace, largely made of metal, is provided for permanent installation in a house or similar structure. The fireplace is completely self-insulated so that it does not require any special materials of construction for installation and furthermore, combustion air is supplied for secondary combustion to prevent creosote buildup. Additionally, the fireplace does not use room air for combustion and is substantially airtight so that no room heat is lost up the chimney.
Abstract: A metal fireplace unit suitable for use in mobile homes or the like is formed in the configuration of an eight-sided space capsule. Heat resistant windows are placed on three of the eight sides so that the fireplace presents an attractive appearance when viewed from almost any angle. An efficient heat circulating system is employed so that a maximum amount of heat is extracted from the fuel.
