| Commentaires : | It is thought that the earliest stove was built in Alsace, France, in 1490. This stove was not made of iron but rather brick and tile. By the end of the 20th century most cooking was done with a cast iron stove. Most commonly the stoves would be heated by wood or coal. People quickly realized the benefits of stoves as opposed to the old method of the open fireplace. The wood stove was considerably safer and more economical than an open fireplace. The stove did not require constant tending, soil the walls of the room with black soot, or emit dangerous sparks. The stove could also be used to keep food warm, and it was possible to direct heat to particular compartments, while also suppplying heat to the cook top or range area of the stove. The stove would occasional require an application of waxy blue polish; this in turn would help prevent rusting of the stove. A cast iron stove would typically require an hours worth of fire tending a day, and would be emptied of its ashes twice a day. This artifact (stove) was made by the Lunenburg Foundry Co. Ltd. The foundry, established in 1891, began by making nautical and parlour stoves as well as cast iron cooking ranges. It has survived fire and financial difficulties, and in 2005 renovated its facilities to meet the needs of its booming yacht repair business. This portion of the company serves clients from Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. The foundry is also responsible for caring for the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic's vessel the Theresa E. Connor and carrying out the annual inspection on the Bluenose II. The foundry has also branched out in the direction of a company gift shop, supplying ship's bells, custom plaques, books and clothing. Sources.
