potbellied stove

Cast-iron warmer

A potbellied stove is a small cast-iron heating stove with a bulging rounded middle, resembling a pot belly.

Popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these wood- or coal-burning stoves heated homes, schools, railroad stations, and country stores.

The distinctive shape maximizes heat radiation: An old potbellied stove sat in the corner of the cabin.
