Description
The Brodie Stove
Born in 1733, Alexander Brodie prospered as a master-blacksmith making fire-grates and register stoves. He designed a new and safer firehearth for ships; two large boilers over a fire-grate, pot-gantries, a spit, a condenser for fresh water and a large bread oven. The Admiralty awarded him a monopoly which lasted twenty-nine years, to install this firehearth in all ships
