box stove
Rectangular wood burner
A box stove is a simple rectangular heating stove, typically cast iron, with a firebox for burning wood or coal.
The boxy shape distinguishes it from more ornate parlor stoves or cylindrical models.
Box stoves were common in rural homes, schoolhouses, and workshops before central heating: The old box stove in the corner kept the cabin warm through winter.
