When cheap gas and oil became available, wood stoves were carted out to the yard and abandoned.
These 20 antique wood stoves are a part of American history so its only right that we remember them.
1. Benson County Stove
An abandoned farmhouse in Northern Benson County, ND.
The old stove is still standing in the same space it occupied for decades – maybe even a century. . How many fires has it held? How much history has this stove witnessed? Who called this place home? Where are they now?
2. Gutted Tile Stove
Exploring this old abandoned house was an experience that won’t soon be forgotten. This was probably one of the creepiest places on earth.
This tile stove is from the bigger house. It is not in very good shape now.
3. Snowdonia Stove
This old stove was found in an abandoned house in Snowdonia. This may sound weird, but I would dearly love to light just one fire in this one.
4. Very Old Fisher Stove
Sole survivor found in one of several burned out buildings surrounding the abandoned Byron Hot Springs Hotel that once did a booming business in Byron CA.
5. Detroit Jewel Abandoned Stove
Found standing alone on the second floor of an abandoned factory.
6. Home Comfort Wood Stove
A one of a kind old cook stove found and photographed in a long abandoned Towner County, ND farm house. Just imagine the meals turned out on this one.
7. Fire Risk Stove
The Smith family had a wood burning stove in their kitchen. I don’t know why they did this or what their intentions were, but I would definitely not recommend wrapping this extension cord around this or any stove.
8. Wood Stove Relic
This beautiful old relic, was abandoned in an old farmhouse and forgotten by those it served.
9. Wilderness Wood Stove
Abandoned Stove Room (The Hatchery)
10. Wood Stove Alone In The Wild
This poor stove has been left all alone for over a century.
11. Rusty Wood Stove
The ornate design on this old stove takes one back to memories of the old cast iron radiators that heated homes from the Victorian era. Some of those radiators are even still in use today in older homes.
12. School House Stove
This one has got to be one of my favourites. It reminds me of the stories my Dad told us about the mid-western one room school house he used to attend. Lopsided worn out wooden floors… tongue and groove walls with faded peeling paint … No doubt his school looked a lot like this one but I bet it was a lot smaller.
13. Rust and Ruin
This once glorious stove abandoned in an old house open to the elements… left to rust and die an ugly death.
14. Poor Old Stove
Another poor soul left to die, all alone.
15. Overgrown Stove
A rusty stove at an abandoned children’s amusement park – The Enchanted Forest in Hope Valley, RI.
16. A little bit scary
This photo taken at an abandoned movie set near Kanab, UT, is the site where the old television program, Gunsmoke was taped.
17. Cabin Stove
I was bold enough to take a look inside this old stove. Before doing so, I braced myself and was completely prepared to be confronted by a snake or a rat. Thank goodness, all that i found there was garbage, paper and plastic that simply didn’t burn before the last fire went out.
18. Stove Trapped Under Rubble
This old stove has been left to rot under the remains of its former home.
19. Ghost Town Stove
This can be found in the Ghost Town of Cleator, AZ
20. Ornate Abandoned Stove
This stove was found in an abandoned brick factory. Medora, Indiana. Jackson county. Or maybe a Dwarven abandoned foundry, from an era even before mankind? 
))) (sorry! too much Lord of The Rings!!!)

And we always thought that Fisher stoves weren’t made before the 1900’s. Or were we right and it just rusted really fast?
