Abstract

A jacketed wood stove has a jacket forming an air space conformably surrounding the top, bottom, rear and sidewalls of the firebox, and a double-jacketed front access door. The periphery of the access door is slotted for internal convective cooling of the door. Ambient air enters the air space beneath the firebox, flows rearwardly, then upwardly behind the firebox and forwardly along the top and sidewalls of the firebox to progressively heat the air and to cool the outer jacket. A reflective intermediate baffle between the jacket and the side and rear walls of the firebox further cools the jacket. Heated air returns to the room via sidewardly-directed outlet slots along the upper and frontal margins of the jacket sidewalls. A pedestal supports the jacketed firebox above the floor. The pedestal contains a first conduit for introducing ambient air into the air space and second conduit for introducing outside combustion air into the firebox. The pedestal also houses a blower for blowing air into the air space. A horizontal baffle inside the firebox deflects the flames and hot gases forwardly and laterally against the firebox walls to more efficiently extract heat from the fire.
