The mounting of the asbestos plate 12 prevents the upward flow of air exteriorly of the tube 10 and causes the air to flow upwardly through said tube and also prevents any excess oil that may. overflow from the trough 25 from entering the bottom of the stove S. When it is desired to clean the oil supply pipe 13 and bore 19 in the central body portion 18 of the body head, the burner plate 27 is removed from the burner head and a suitable instrument may be inserted in the bore 19, ports 30 and pipe 13.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 5, the flame spreader plate 27a is connected to and supported upon the central body portion 18a of the burner head by means of the fitted pipe 28a which projects above the spreader plate and permits access to the oil supply pipe 13a without the necessity of removing the flame spreader plate 2711.

From the above detailed description of the invention, it is believed that the construction and operation thereof will at once be apparent, and while there are herein shown and described the preferred embodiments of the invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

I claim:---
