Suitcase Furnace

Suitcase Furnace Stewart-Warner Corp. last week unwrapped one of its prize postwar items: a midget furnace capable of heating 2 1/2 rooms. Developed from airplane heaters used during the war, the furnace weighs 70 pounds, is not much larger than a suitcase. The furnace burns natural, manufactured or bottled gas in a completely enclosed flame. Air is brought in--and waste gases expelled--through pipes to the outside of the house.

The furnace can be used as a space heater, embedded in a wall between two rooms to heat both, or stuck on a closet shelf to heat two or more rooms through short ducts. Two such units, said Stewart-Warner President James S. Knowlson, can heat the average six-room house, can be installed by one man. Cost: $200 a heater.
