A stove has a baffle deflector member (10) which is hollow and provides an air supply (13) to the fire box (1) of the stove. The deflector member (10) is adapted to be removed from the fire box (1) easily for repair or replacement. The deflector member has a pattern of air outlet holes (13) around its peripheral edges, and a line (19) of air holes across its middle region. The holes across its middle region are formed and then the metal of the deflector member bent on their line. This gives those holes a non-round tapering cross section which is believed to give an enhanced mixing effect to the stream of air coming from those holes. The large number of air outlets over a large area of the fire box promotes full mixing of the fire box air, and full combustion of the fuel. |
