Ehrlich patents hot blast smoke consumer for stoves
John B. Ehrlich, proprietor of Indianapolis artistic pattern works, has invented and applied for a patent on a combination hot blast and smoke consumer for cooking stoves and ranges. Air is drawn through ingress bowls near the rear top, travels through a long horizontal pipe into the firepot, and exits via a flaring pipe through semi-circular slots over the combustion point. The device aims to improve combustion, reduce smoke, and keep the fire preserved overnight.
