Abstract: The specification describes a stove which is convertible to a fireplace. The stove has a swingable mounted front door which closes the combustion chamber. The door has a primary and secondary pre-heating air passages both of which introduce a stream of pre-heated air to the appropriate regions of the combustion chamber. A slidable baffle system located in the chamber provides a wide range of fuel drafting arrangements. The stove further has a fire screen mounted on the front and which swings from the side opposite the door to conveniently accommodate conversion from closed combustion to a fireplace mode.
