HEAT DEFLECTOR TOP 
and canopy catch all the heat—forces it to the can¬ 
opy wings and down to the floor. Baby chicks are 
brooded on the floor, not on rafters. No heat is 
wasted by rising direct to top of brooder house. 
ACORN BROODERS utilize all the heat—prevent 
heat waste. Fresh warm air circulates under the 
canopy and between heater drum and deflector top 
—clearance more than 2 inches. Heat is evenly dis¬ 
tributed by canopy. The larger the canopy the big¬ 
ger the heated floor area. 
AUTOMATIC HEAT CONTROL 
For low cost brooding use an OAKES ACORN 
BROODER. Produces an abundance of controlled 
heat. Burns from 1 to 4 gallons of fuel in 24 hours 
depending upon size of brooding house and outside 
temperature. Few stoves can he adjusted to burn 
as little as 1 gallon in 24 hours. 
AIR FED BURNER 
The ACORN BROODER gives you an extra heavy 
burner construction. Big cone type oil cracking sur¬ 
face. Extra deep oil well. Oil inlet guarded to pre¬ 
vent carbon getting into fuel supply line. Air is 
fed to burner ring between the two cast iron burner 
plates. Is preheated when it reaches the flame. 
Burns with an intense flame. Minimum soot and 
carbon accumulation. Easy to clean burner through 
hole in top of drum. Will burn for days without 
attention.
