Analyzing Antique Stoves

Antique Ovens

These antique ovens are much different than our modern day ovens that we use today. Most of the ovens used in the 1700-1800's were gas stoves. In today's times, we have the choice to either have a gas or electric stove.
Around 1760, ten-plate stoves, similar to, but larger than, six-plate stoves were made having four more plates that form a oven and two hinged doors. Opening on either side, smoke passed around the ends of the oven and out a pipe. This is the likely genesis of all cook stoves.
