Something About Base Burners

The stove that gives the largest
amount Of heat for the least quantity
Of fuel consumed is the best, and the
Radiant Home does that. We will
give you a few reasons why this Is
true.
The greatest radiation In q base
burner is Of course In the base, and
the Radiant Home carries the heat
twice az far as other makes, 10 the
base before 1t gets to the pipe. The
base is a circular bottom flue and the
heat Is carried around the outside OF
bottom. The gas flue In the Radiant
Home prevents the explosion or es-
cape OF gas and is found In no other
stove. The Radiant Home has extra
large radiation surface contracted at
neither top or bottom, giving the
greatest possible radiation. 1t has
pocket joints preventing cement
from falling out, and making an abso-
lutely air tight joint, which will not
open.
