Patent Images
1. A wood stove for reducing radon gas comprising:
- a stove main body forming a wood combustion chamber with an opening for inserting wood therein;
a stove door pivotally mounted to said stove main body adjacent said opening and movable from a first position whereat said door is away from said opening so wood may be inserted through said opening into said wood combustion chamber to a second position whereat said door extends over said opening but is spaced partially away from said stove main body forming gaps therebetween;
an air spout mounted to said stove main body at said opening, said air spout having a proximal end extending into said opening and a distal end; and
,a first conduit connected to said distal end of said air spout and extending away therefrom to collect radon gas.
