Wetry to admit air to fire-box in such a manner that it mustcross the path of flame on its way to the flue sheet. Withthe exception of the small amount of air admitted aroundthe burner to prevent it from being overheated, all otherair entering the firebox has but one function and that isto aid combustion. Air, in excess of the amount re-quired for perfect combustion, wastes fuel at the rate of1 percent for each 10 percent of excess air.
