| Description : | This stove stands on four legs. The top of the stove has three holes in it, above the three burners. A metal bar crosses each of the holes four times to provide a surface for resting pots on. A glass fuel tank is attached to the right side of the stove. A pipe runs from this tank to the three burners beneath the stove top. Valves at each burner control which burner is receiving fuel. A shelf is beneath the burners and fuel pipe. The top of the stove and the burners are painted black, while the shelf and legs are painted white. |
| Commentaires : | In 1955, very few Newfoundland households were using kerosene or oil for cooking. The number was to increase over the next several decades, but around the time this stove was purchased, using kerosene for cooking was fairly rare. Most families used a combination of wood and/or coal, and some used electricity. Kerosene stoves were useful in areas that had not yet received electricity, although Marystown was supplied with electricity in 1958, roughly around the time this stove was in use. This stove may have been used outdoors during the summer months. This would eliminate problems with fumes that could be troublesome when the stove was used indoors. |
| Fonctions : | This stove was used for cooking food. It could be used outdoors, or indoors if there were plenty of ventilation. |
