PCT No. PCT/GB92/00268 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 24, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 24, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 14, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/14972 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 3, 1992.A stove (1) comprises a fire-box (4), and an ash-chamber (5) separated by a grate (19). Air intake means (21,23) is provided beneath the ash-chamber. Air supply means (30) connected to the air intake means extends vertically past the ash-chamber and the fire-box to an upper region of the fire-box. Air delivery means (27) provides communication between the air supply means and the fire-box. In use fuel burning inside the fire-box causes external air to be drawn into the air intake means, through the air supply means and through the air delivery means to a region above fuel in the fire-box. External air is pre-heated by passing underneath the ash-chamber and past the ash-chamber and the fire-box during its passage into the fire-box. Turbulence caused by an interaction between pre-heated air entering the fire-box and heated air already present causes smoky combusted air (F) to be pushed away from a dose (35) at the front of the fire-box.
