ABSTRACT:
A freestanding fireplace and room heater is described that is both pleasing in appearance and is an efficient room heater. The heater includes an upright firebox selectively sealed by a door on a front wall thereof. The door may be opened and swung to a position adjacent one side of the firebox for free access to the firebox interior. The door includes a removable glass window for a clear view of a fire within the firebox. The window may be selectively removed and replaced with a metal panel. A relatively inconspicuous blower unit is mounted at the rearward side of the firebox to receive and direct air across the back side, then out across the top, bottom, and sides of the firebox. Also included is a draft arrangement adjacent to the glass pane. The draft arrangement operates to draw cool air in and downwardly across the inside surface of the glass pane. The draft arrangement provides air to support combustion within the firebox and prevents build-up of soot and dust on the glass pane. A moveable draft control is provided on the metal panel that, when in place, may be used to vary the airflow through the draft arrangement. The firebox is designed to retain hot gasses in a turbulent atmosphere for a time prior to discharge through a smoke outlet.
