potbelly stove

Bulging cast-iron furnace

A potbelly stove is a cast-iron heating stove with a bulging midsection resembling a pot belly.

Popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these freestanding stoves burned wood or coal and radiated heat from their rounded bodies.

They remain fixtures in rustic cabins and nostalgic Americana: An old potbelly stove warmed the general store.
