A forced draft, solid fuel burning stove incorporates a plurality of air distribution conduits disposed intermediate an ash collection receptacle and a solid fuel support grate. The forced draft air is directed upwardly onto a deflector in a manner to permit the flow of air to be evenly distributed across the solid fuel and across the food support surface. The movement of the forced draft air against the deflector establishes a turbulent, randon movement which prevents high concentrations of forced air directly upon the solid fuel, which would otherwise loosen ash particles from the solid fuel and carry them upwardly onto the food support surface. In this manner, the full effect of heat convection through the forced draft medium is evenly distributed across the cooking surface, without the adverse effect of high concentrations of forced draft air directed to certain areas of the solid fuel, which would otherwise result in uneven or rapid burning of the fuel, and consequently uneven cooking of the food upon the food support surface. The flow rate of combustion air delivered by the air distribution conduits is limited and the combustion chamber is sealed against entry of outside air, whereby the combustion rate of the solid fuel is carefully controlled.
