1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a combination of a baking oven and a stove, comprising a stove for burning wood, an ash chest under the stove, and a baking oven above the stove, whereby a conduit extends from a furnace of the stove into a secondary combustion chamber positioned above the baking oven and below a fire cover, cheek conduits being arranged to extend downwards from the secondary combustion chamber on both sides of the combination into a flue of the combination.
2. The Prior Art
Combinations of a baking oven and a wood burning stove are known from the prior art. The baking oven may therein be provided with smoke openings. In this kind of arrangement the baking oven is not very well suited for burning wood, since the supply of air into the baking oven is difficult to arrange: the feed door of the baking oven has to be provided with air supply openings arranged to be closed tightly when the stove is used. Such a feed door is difficult to manufacture. In practice, the baking oven in this type of arrangement is heated by efficient heating of the stove. Plenty of wood thereby has to be burned in the stove to achieve a sufficient baking temperature, as the heating of the mass of the stove requires plenty of heat energy. Another problem is that the back portion of the baking oven does not warm up properly, and the glass of the furnace and the feed door becomes sooty.
An arrangement is also known in which the baking oven is not provided with smoke openings but combustion and flue gases are passed through the back portion into a secondary combustion chamber positioned above the baking oven. This structure operates in a desired manner when the stove and the baking oven are heated at different times. However, when the baking oven is to be used separately, a damper has to be provided between the baking oven and the stove. The damper complicates the construction and its use is always more or less inconvenient.
Further, combinations of a baking oven and a wood burning stove are known in which the stove and the baking oven have their own conduits for combustion and flue gases, which conduits lead into two separate flues. A problem with this kind of combination is that it is complicated as such, and warms up unevenly, which results in that the construction tends to "live". Furthermore, the dropping of coal is difficult.
