Abstract: A combination stove-fireplace assembly. A hood with a damper therein is movable vertically from a position wherein it is spaced from the assembly base -- wherein the assembly may be used as an open fireplace -- to a position in sealing engagement with the base -- wherein the assembly may be used as a stove or for "charcoaling". A sand-filled trench is provided at the base for insuring an air-tight seal between the base and the hood. Operating means for raising and lowering the hood include a crank exterior of the assembly positioned for ready access, and a means for locking the hood into the desired position to which it is raised. An ash bin is readily removable from underneath the firebox.
