Dimplex claims to have produced the first electric fireplace with a "realistic" wood-burning flame effect in 1995. [6] It is unclear what specific technique is being referred to, although it may be U.S. patent 5,642,580. In 2008 Dimplex launched the Opti-myst effect which simulates both flames and smoke.
A bukhāri (Persian بُخاری) is a traditional space heater from Central Asia and northern areas of the Indian Subcontinent, which is typically a wood-burning stove. [1] Bukharis consist of a wide cylindrical fire-chamber at the base in which wood , charcoal or other fuel is burned and a narrower cylinder on the top that helps in heating ...
Rocket mass heaters are developed from rocket stoves, a type of wood-burning stove, and masonry heaters. A primary design of a rocket mass heater consists of an insulated combustion chamber where fuel is burned with high efficiency at high temperature, and a large thermal mass in contact with the exhaust gases , which absorbs most of the ...
A number of holes are then cut or drilled into the stone face along the scored line approximately 10 to 20 centimetres (3.9 to 7.9 in) apart. Plug and feather sets are inserted in the holes, with the "ears" of the feathers facing the direction of the desired split. The plugs are then struck with a hammer in sequence.
After the cartridge heater has been filled with MgO, a seal is applied to the open end of the cartridge heater (where the nichrome coil was introduced). This prevents the coil and the MgO from coming out, as well as preventing contaminants such as plastic debris, air, or moisture from entering the heater.
Wolfgang Schroeter invented the first wood-burning stove with a cast iron frame and glass door. This allowed the user to see the fire burning inside the stove.

Standard, modern, wood-burning masonry fireplaces though have an efficiency rating of at least 80% (legal minimum requirement, for example, in Salzburg, Austria). [12] To improve efficiency, fireplaces can also be modified by inserting special heavy fireboxes designed to burn much cleaner and can reach efficiencies as high as 80% in heating the ...
