Danish term or phrase: 1 jern Belægger Kakkelovn med Kamin
This entry comes from an estate inventory made in Lemvig, Denmark in 1821. I believe I have transcribed it exactly as written, but handwriting is always an issue with these records. Based on my own knowledge of the language and suggestions made by others, I have several conflicting translations. I would appreciate any help!

Description of old house (built 1719):
" Fireplaces: There is a large cooking fireplace in the east front room in which (in 1971) an old, if not original, wooden crane survived. In the back wall there is a firing opening for a jamb stove and this has been reconstructed as a masonry stove. In 1971, the fireplace hearth was flush with the floor and it has been restored this way, but John Milner found evidence that the hearth had originally been raised above the floor level, which is the way it would have been done in the old world.

On the second floor, on the east face and at the north side of the massive chimney masonry there is a small fireplace with an opening in the back of it for firing a jamb stove. In the restoration, a five-plate cast iron jamb stove was installed.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I did another check online, and it seems the word should be "Bil�gger." This entire phrase appears in several Danish estate inventories online.
