Proof of what a really well insulated round fire pot can do. What I can't understand is how the lesson could not just be forgotten but probably not even realized by subsequent makers, not just of coal stoves but of oil burners as well. With the advent of central heating it got even worse with no combustion chamber at all, just a place to pile the coal and keep it lit with an excess of air.The stokers do that too but get away with it by using a hot small fire with constant or relatively constant feed.
