Pot Belly Stove at the Vermont Country Store

16 comments:

  1. I haven't seen a stove with the sort of thing on the top that the photo shows; I suppose it is a radiator. The stove is probably about the same size as the one in my parents' store when I was young. I remember the sheet metal wood heater in the hall where I had accordion lessons and recitals as a teenager; estimating roughly from memory, I'd say it was about six feet in diameter and eight feet tall, but it could have been larger.

    1. The stove that heated my house when I was young was rectangular, I believe about 3' X 3-1/2'. Sheet metal surrounding the cast iron fire box. The top of the sheet metal could be lifted off to allow cooking on the cast iron, although our regular cook stove was gas.

    2. Seems like stoves and computers keep getting smaller. 😁

      I think that's a cooking surface atop the stove, Alan...at least the round disk at center is. The part around the center disk with the sun's rays effect may be to send any drips off the stove rather than allowing them to drip down onto the stove. Water hitting a really hot stove could possibly cause a crack.
