PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cooking Stoves.
I, RICHARD POORE of 33 Chaucer Road, Herne Hill, S.E., Stove Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates more particularly to improvements in the closed cooking
stoves for which I made application for Letters Patent on the 28th day of
November 1890, No. 19357, but is partly applicable to other closed stoves.
In the Specification of said Patent, the application of a ventilated roasting
chamber to a closed cooking stove is described.
The joint is hung in this chamber, and is cooked by the heat radiated from the
fire place, which is open to the chamber, the heat and effluvium passing away by a
flue placed at the top of the chamber.
Now, according to my present improvements, I place the flue at the side of the
chamber, and I adapt to the top of the chamber, and below the ontlet, a baffle
plate by which the heat is caused to be diffused into the chamber, instead of
passing away direct to the flue.
In the top plate, and centrally of the chamber, I form a hole, in which I place
a cylindrical vessel, of a depth equal to the distance between the top plate and the
baffle, and from the bottom of this vessel extend two, three, or more short tubes,
which project through corresponding holes in the baffle plate.
This vessel, which I term a "baster," is to be filled with dripping, which, by
reason of the heat passing between the top and the baffle, and playing upon the
vessel, will he melted, and will run slowly down the tubes,, and drop onto the
joint suitably bung below. This baster may be adapted to other closed cooking
stoves than the one particularly referred to.
Dated this 7th day of July 1891.

Improvements in Cooking Stoves.
I RICHARD POORE of 33 Chaucer Road, Herne Hill, S.E., Stove Manu-
facturor, 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 :-
This invention relates more particularly to improvements in the closed cooking
stoves for which I made application for Letters Patent on the 28th day of
November 1890, No. 19357, but is partly applicable to other closed stoves.
In the Specification of said Patent, the application of a ventilated roasting
chambor to a closed cooking stove is described.
The joint is hung in this chamber, and is cooked by the heat radiated from the
fire place, which is open to the chamber, the heat and effluvium passing away by a
flue placed at the top of the chamber.
Now according to my present improvements, I place the flue at the side of the
chamber, and I adapt to the top of the chamber, and below the outlet, a baffle
plate, by which the heat is caused to be diffused in the chamber, instead of passing
away direct to the flue.
-
In the top plate, and centrally of the chamber, I form a hole, in which I place
a oylindrical vessel, of a depth equal to the distance between the top plate and the

page_text: baffle, and from the bottom of this vessel extend two, three, or more short tubes,
which project through corresponding holes in the battle plate.
This vessel, which I term a "baster," is to be filled with dripping or other fat
which, by reason of the heat passing between the top of the chamber and the
baffle plate and playing upon the vessel; will be melted, so that it will run slowly
down the tubes, and drop onto, and thereby baste the joint suitably hung below.
This baster may be adapted to other closed cooking stoves than the one particularly
referred to.
In the accompanying drawing, (which shows partly in section so much of my
improved cooking stove as will illustrate my present invention) A is the roasting
chamber and B the chimney. In the upper part of the chamber A, I arrange a
baffle plate C, preferably cutting away the corners of the plate, to allow the heat
and effluvium to pass to the chimney by means of the flue D, which is situated
above the plate.
In the top plate of the chamber A, I forn a hole in which I insert a vessel. E,
which term a buster. This vessel may be of any convenient shape, and is
provided with two, three, or more tubes F, which project from the bottom thereof,
and are inserted in holes in the battle plate C, over the spot where the joint will
hang. This vessel will contain fat or grease of some kind, which, being melted
by the heat, will run through the tubes and fall on the joint, thereby automatically
basting the joint.
A basting vessel, thus formed may be readily adapted to the oven of any closed
cooking stove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
:
1st. The improvements in cooking stoves as herein shown and described.
2nd. The application to a closed cooking stove, of a basting vessel, substantially
in the manner herein shown and described.
3rd. A basting vessel for closed cooking stoves, constructed substantially as
herein shown and described.
