Well, long ago man finally discovered how to make fire. Fire on of the single most important discoveries of mankind. Then next one could be antibiotics. But for now were talking about fire. Fire eventually became the contained in some inventions over the years. From just an open faced flame pit to a containable flame stove or fireplace. Always used for heating and cooking. A Napoleon stove is a wonderful way to heat the home but stove is not only referred to as a heating the air device. Stoves are also another name for oven. Of course to cook meals with. So let’s look at how the history of stove ovens goes.
In 1490, Alsace France was the first documentation of a stove being built. It was built of only brick and tile and it did include the flue. Think of things before with all that smoke bellowing into the home or castle all the time. Talk about always smelling like a fire pit. Anyway, the first stove built with a flue with a record was in 1490. I’m sure for another couple thousand years the design stayed rather simple but became more popular. The Germans too the stoves to their first big incarnation. They were called Five-plate also known as Jamb stoves. By 1740 the close stoves were born. They were six plate stoves also called the box stoves.
America stepped in now with Benjamin Franklin’s big improvements on the stove. He created the Pennsylvania Fireplace. With in 20 years the design morphed into the ten plated stove which had an oven and two hinged doors. This design looks like it is the design that finally incorporated the all kinds of cooking stoves. Finally in the late nineteenth century the cook stoves and ranges began to flourish. Now modern stoves and ovens have become so luxurious.
