Description
Kimball's patent "consists in constructing the stove with an iron or metal frame filled in or provided with stone panels, the lower parts or bars of the said metal frame being made of such width as to elevate the stone panels above any accumulation of ashes in the bottom of the stove, and thus prevent such unequal heating of different parts of the stone panels as would endanger their breakage. The front of the stove is provided with sliding doors, also constructed of iron frames filled with stone. The invention is designed for a combined open and close stove, and to burn either wood or coal." (Patent Number 43,314)
