facturer of Fire Appliances and Gas Stoves do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide a condensing cooking stove, the oven

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Gas Cooking Stoves.
I, WILLIAM BRUCE DICK, of Lytton House, Putney Hill, London, Manu-
facturer of Fire Appliances and Gas Stoves, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
My invention has for its object to provide a condensing cooking stove the oven
and other inside parts of which are heated entirely by means of a Bunsen burner or
other suitable burner placed on the outside of the oven and other inside parts.
The invention consists of a gas stove having an oven with a Bunsen or other
suitable burner playing directly on the bottom or any other convenient part of the
oven. The products of the consumed gas immediately pass round the outside of
the oven and other inside parts, passing down the condensing tubes situated at the
back or other convenient part of the stove and are condensed. The water of
condensation passes into a tray or trough conveniently placed to catch the same.
Any air or uncondensed gases pass up a tube placed inside of the condensing
tube and escape through an outlet at the top or other convenient part provided for
the purpose.
This principle of heating and condensing is also applicable to the boiler and all
other inside parts of the condensing cooking stove.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended three explanatory sheets of drawings in the
several figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of
reference.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a cooking stove with boiler attached constructed
according to my improvements.

page_text: Figure 3 is a back view.
The stove is divided into two chambers, the upper A containing the oven B, and
the lower C the burner D. The gas is supplied to the burner D by the pipe E,
and the air passes through the openings F on the lower part of the front and side
of the stove, up the tube M, and also through the spaces . The products of the
consumed gas pass round the bottom of the oven, up round the sides, and over
the top, passing down the condensing tubes G into a chamber H, and are
condensed. The bottoin of this chamber H is slightly inclined so that the water
of condensation will pass freely through the pipes I into the tray or trough J.
Any air or uncondensed gases pass up the tubes K and escape through the
openings L. To prevent the bottom of the oven becoming too hot I may have a
double bottom and I may also have a wall of silica up the sides to keep the
outside of the stove cool and also to retain as much of the heat as possible.
If there is a boiler to the stove, the same arrangement is applied to it, as will be
seen from the drawings, aad therefore no further description is necessary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a gas cooking stove, constructing it so that the oven and other inside
parts are heated from the outside, substantially as herein before described and
shewn on the accompanying sheets of drawings.
2. In a gas cooking stove, in combination with the chambers A and C, the
tubes G and K, chamber H, pipes I, and tray J, all arranged substantially, as set
forth with reference to the accompanying sheets of drawings.
