Water-filled burning table

A burning table comprising a water tank having a closed pressure chamber in its lower portion and an open working chamber in its upper portion, means supporting horizontal removable frames in an upper portion of said working chamber, means in said frames removably supporting parallel horizontal burning rails spanning the top of said working chamber, means in said frames removably supporting horizontal gratings between said rails, a water passageway connecting a lower portion of said lower chamber with an upper portion of said upper chamber just below said gratings, an air passageway connecting an upper portion of said lower chamber with an upper portion of said upper chamber, an air vent valve in said passageway, an air pressure supply pipe connected to said air passageway between said air vent valve and said lower chamber, and a valve in said pipe, the introduction of air pressure into said lower chamber displacing water from said lower chamber through said water passageway into said upper chamber to submerge said burning rails and gratings, and the opening of said air vent valve discharging air from said lower chamber and any water in said air passageway through said air passageway into said upper chamber and allowing return of water from only the upper portion of said upper chamber through said water passageway to said lower chamber until the water level in said upper chamber is just below said gratings.
