Supplemental air directing extension frame for a fireplace

摘要

A supplemental air directing frame for a fireplace (10) is provided where frame (10) includes an upper channel (12), a pair of sidewalls (14) and a pair of front panels (16). Upper channel (12) has an air flow opening formed therethrough and air is directed through the air flow opening into nozzle (32), where it is directed towards combustible material (48) within fireplace (24). A variably controlled fan (26) draws exterior air into upper channel (12). The fan (26) is controlled by a rheostat (28) so that a user may variably control the rate of air directed into combustion chamber (24), thus controlling the rate of combustion of the combustible material (48).
