wood stove

Cabin heating appliance

A wood stove is a heating appliance that burns wood in an enclosed firebox, radiating warmth into a room.

Unlike a fireplace, a wood stove stands free of the wall and channels smoke through a stovepipe: We heated the cabin with an old cast-iron wood stove.

Also spelled woodstove.
