Heating stove

A slow combustion stove having a transparent portion to enable vision into a primary combustion zone so that flames are visible in use has a double burning combustion chamber defined by the primary combustion chamber and a partitioned off secondary burning combustion chamber, an air inlet to enable air to circulate within the stove adjacent a deflector which deflects the incoming air over the transparent portion to cool and resist staining and soot build-up thereon. A majority of the air passes to the primary combustion zone and a proportion of further gases enter the secondary combustion chamber with the gases of primary combustion for combustion of smoke and other unburned gases. A by-pass is provided for by-passing the normal combustion flow path when lighting the stove and additionally, an interlock is provided for preventing accidental opening of a door into the stove while the by-pass is closed, said by-pass damper is jamming resistant and acts as a pressure relief valve by virtue of the provision of a damper head to float and rotate relative to its mounting and support.
