the forgotten art of building a good fireplace the forgotten art of building a good fireplace
Vrest Orton

Vrest Orton loved the five fireplaces in his 1828 Federal brick house in Weston, Vermont because of their architectural beauty and because of the enormous amount of heat they produced without letting smoke into the rooms. In his quest to understand why his old fireplaces worked so much better than most 'modern' versions, Orton discovered the work of Count Rumford, the 18th Century genius who brought fireplace design to an unprecedented level of efficiency. In this book, Vrest Orton recounts the fascinating story of Count Rumford. He then goes on to spell out Rumford's basic principles of fireplace design with the help of drawings by Austin Stevens. Since its original publication in 1969, this book has gone through numerous printings and has brought about a revival of the Rumford fireplace. 62pp
