Of large portable Kitchen Furnaces with Fire-place 



Doors. 



The following figure represents a vertical section 

 (drawn to a scale of 12 inches to the inch) of a portable 

 furnace of this kind, constructed of sheet iron : 



Fig. 86. 



Furnaces of this kind might, I am confident, be made 

 very useful in many cases. Wood, coals, charcoal, or 

 turf, might indifferently be used with them ; and no 

 contrivance is better calculated for promoting both the 

 economy of fuel and that of house-room. 



Portable furnaces on this principle might easily be 

 made of cast iron, which would be both cheap and dur- 

 able; or they might be constructed partly of cast iron 

 and partly of sheet iron, in the manner recommended 

 in the eleventh chapter, in respect to portable furnaces 

 without fire-place doors.
