iving fresh air and oxygen to the burning wood. Can you see the pipe used by the woman before the furnace ? It is meant to give air to the slow burning wood and to reach oxygen to it , so that it burns more speedily. Some 70 years ago , this type of chula was used by my mother and air pipe was used by her to give fresh air to the slow burning wood. Some times she asked me to do this and I had a goos experience as burning flames charred the skin ! My wife , though coming from a well to do family of Bombay , had to sit before this chula and give air to the wood with this pipe for quite some years. But she was a brave lady and tolerated this torments of the chula.
