Kitchen Stove Doubles As A Furnace

Kitchen Stove Doubles As A Furnace FARM HOME Kitchen 27-2-30 It takes up to 24-in. dia. wood and has a cooking surface as well as an oven. The best feature it that it also heats the house," says James Finch, Roxbury, N.Y., about the kitchen stove he designed and built. The top of the firebox serves as the stove-top cooking surface. Hot air runs from under the stove top to the oven, positioned above and to the right. Air flows up and around the oven to a plenum. From there the air is ducted to each room in the house. "Usually with wood stoves, the heat stays around the stove but with my design it travels to all parts of the house, and the cool air goes back up around the stove," says Finch. There's a convenient wood storage area under the oven. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, James Finch Welding, 2787 Lower Meeker Hollow, Roxbury, N.Y. 12474 (ph 607 326-7529).
