History and Evolution of the Stove

Do you know the history of the stove from ancient times to today?

Stoves have been used for centuries to heat spaces around the world. In ancient Greece and Rome, braziers and ovens were used to heat rooms, while during the Middle Ages, cast iron stoves were mainly used in churches.

In the 18th century, designers began experimenting with different types of stoves, leading to the invention of the first modern stove, the Franklin Stove, which became popular in the United States thanks to Benjamin Franklin.

During the Industrial Revolution, cast iron stoves became a luxury item for the middle class and were designed with ornamental elements, turning them into decorative pieces as well. Kerosene stoves were also invented in Europe, allowing people to heat their homes without using wood or coal.

By the late 19th century, stoves had become smaller and more portable, allowing people to move them from room to room. Gas stoves were also invented, becoming very popular in households worldwide due to being cleaner, safer, and more efficient than the coal and wood stoves of the time. In the 1930s, the first electric stove was invented—easy to use, portable, and free from smoke and toxic gases.

Today, wood-burning stoves have evolved to become increasingly efficient and safe, thanks to advanced technologies such as double combustion systems and ventilation systems.
