The Franklin stove is a metal-lined fireplace named after Benjamin Franklin, who invented it in 1741. It had a hollow baffle near the rear (to transfer more heat from the fire to a room's air) and relied on an inverted siphon to draw the fire's hot fumes around the baffle.
Franklinâs stove spread warmth to the whole room as its grate extended out into the room though the stove itself stood in the fireplace. The stove was such that it used only 1/4th of the wood used by fireplaces with doubled heat production. This stove was very popular and remained so for around a century.
