TRUTH !!
Franklin's doomed design called for the smoke to come out of the bottom of
the stove. apparently, he did not fully understand that heat rises, and so
his stoves actually self-extinguished.
it wasn't until David Rittenhouse redesigned the freestanding, cast-iron
fireplace in 1790 that the product took off. he called his product the
Rittenhouse stove, but his name didn't stick and his design is forever
linked with Franklin's.
