Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a Furnace Cooking Stove, which may be altered at pleasure into an open stove, similar to a Franklin fire-place, called the “Alterable Cooking and Franklin Stove;" George Richards, Providence, Rhode Island, September 9.
The intention of the inventor of this stove, is to furnish an article which may be conveniently transmuted from one form to another, but we apprehend that most persons will object to the removal or addition of a part, or, indeed, several parts of an apparatus of this description, and will deem it inconvenient rather than otherwise.
When this stove is to be used as a furnace cooking stove, only, the parts which form the sides of the Franklin, are to be doubled back, whilst the top, with its brass ornaments, and an elbow pipe, are to be removed, and stowed away, together with the furnace and some other appendages. We do not see anything in it requiring a more particular description. The claim is to "the peculiar combination, form, and construction of this stove, with its moveable furnace; top, sides, mantel piece, &c., &c.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 9, Dec. 1829 pgs. 400-401
