ABSTRACT:
The heat of a fireplace is absorbed by the invention and conducted to a desired area or place instead of merely dissipating and escaping up through the chimney. The invention herein is a fireplace heater and comprises an air conductor having a heat absorbing portion and an air passage through the air conductor and air moving means for moving air through the air passage of the air conductor thereby causing ambient air to pass through the heat absorbing portion which greatly increases the temperature of the air resulting in hot air coming out of the exit opening of the air conductor. An air hole in the air conductor faces in the direction of the fire and the size of the air hole is controlled by a valve. Since air is being moved through the air conductor by the air moving means the effect of the air hole is to fan the fire and give the fire additional oxygen resulting in a hotter fire and a much more easily started fire. The invention is adaptable to various accessories so that various items can be heated or dried such as food, liquids or clothes.
