GREAT IMPROVEMENT
IN
COOKING STOVES /!
Consumption of Smoke & Gas & Saving of Fuel.

THE subscriber takes pleasure in offering TO
/ his customers new Patented Gas-burning
Cooking Stove, undoubtedly the best stove made.
1t is we'll known that all lniammable matter
requires certain amount of air TO support COM,
bustion, and if the supply is insufficient it is
impossible to produce flame. The heat of
the fire, in ordinary cooking stoves, decomposes
the fuel, and as all the fresh air is admit ed un
der the CRATE, its oxygen is exhausted before it
has passed through the fire chamber. The close
fues at the top of the stove then act as an ex-
tinguisher, tending to put out the fire instead of
assisting the combustion. large portion Of
the fuel, therefore, passes off in the shape of
smoke, clogging up the iues of the stove so as
ho impede the draft and interfere with the ba-
king,-or of invisible gas which combines with
the lime and SO destroys the mortar of the
chimneys, loosening the bricks, and exposing
the dwellings to the danger of fire.
The introduction of an additional supply Of
cold air would cool the gas below the igDiting
temperature, but by the proper application
above the fire of air previously heated to tenn
perature of several hundred degrees (Which is
one Of the prominent features of the pateut),
the gases are infamed in numerous Jets, and.
their combustion is sufficient to heat the oven
even If the draft through the fire chamber is
entirely closed. In addition to the ordinary di-
rect draft under the CRATE and through the fire
chamber, the gas-burner has an additional draft
through tHe Top PIates, Whlcn Is OF ltselt suf-,
cent to maintain combustion. The upper draft
not only consumes the gases, but it helps to
strengthen and preserve the centre pieces which
are most exposed TO the direct action of the
fire, and which are made double instead of the
usual single plates. By means of this draft
alone, all the operations of cooking can be car
ried on when the fuel is but partially ignited,
and the fuel consequently burns more slowly
and more economically A sufficient evidence
Of the effect Of the gases in heating the oven is
found in the fact that the oven will be ready
for baking even before the fire is thoroughly
kindled, and much sooner than in any other
There is scarcely a doubt that before long
the Gas-burning Cooking Stoves will supercede
all others. The operation is so perfect and its
consumption of fuel small in comparison
with other cooking stoves, and its heat so easily
regulated, (burning more or less as desired
that every one who uses one of these stoves will
have nothing else. For sale by
