Summary "A Description of a New-Invented Stove-Grate" by J. Durno is a scientific publication released in the mid-18th century, specifically in 1753. This work highlights the innovations in heating technology, focusing on the advantages of Durno's newly invented stove-grate compared to traditional heating methods. The book aims to address the challenges of heating living spaces efficiently and affordably amid an era when coal prices were rising and winters demanded prolonged heating. In this detailed account, Durno provides an extensive description of his stove-grate's design and operation aims to improve indoor heating while minimizing costs and smoke output. He discusses the principles behind the mechanics of air and fire, asserting that his invention allows for more uniform warmth throughout a room, utilizing just a fraction of coal compared to traditional methods. Throughout the text, he critiques earlier heating technologies, detailing their inefficiencies and how his stove-grate overcomes these problems. The author invites readers to observe the effectiveness of his stove through firsthand experience, promoting the idea of practical observation alongside theoretical claims.
