This is ancient technology but it paved the way for modern ones. It is still used in far flung areas though. At least as my country is concerned. It is rare but still relevant.
Sometimes it’s hard to look at things that had been left forgotten and left to be ravaged by time. It would really remind you that nothing really lasts forever, even as something as well built and sturdy as a wood stove which could have made many hundred meals in its service.

Left out just like that. Saw no interest of it.
Susi R
Yes, it’s best to leave it alone to remain forgotten. I don’t think anyone will want to use this anymore.
David Tjoe
Well, it’s been forgotten that nobody will ever use it again. And this place looks really bad!

We used to have wood stove before. I remember my grandma cooking on it.
Angelo
That look so old. Some parts are already rusting and the place as well.
Miracle
Forgotten and abandoned indeed. I can’t imagine how old that is.
Kei
Look at the damages. I’m think if the place was just abandoned or was it burnt.
Danielle M
Wow the place looks very messy, though the topic looks very interesting and nostalgyc.

This woodstove looks like it survived some kind of natural disaster. It still holds its ground though!

We have this what we called dirty kitchen in our house. A small part wherein we can use charcoal or wood for cooking.

I think that this stove does not look so bad, it can be arranged to put it to good use in a country cabin.

I have never seen a wooden stove before, it’s a pity this has been damaged badly. Lovely picture and I wish I had a clearer view.

I wonder what brought the loss of memory here. All the same the edited looks better because I can bet that original photo is not nice looking

I hope someone will restore such beauty. I am pretty sure this stove can be sold at a high value.

I can only imagine how old this wooden stove is. But from the look of it it’s a couple of years.
Janet
There’s so much history hidden in this wooden stove. I hope someone will renovate it and restore it’s beauty.

Can these be stayed away somewhere that can be used as museum for future humans to view.
Roy
Looks like the house had a fire. Totally devastating indeed.
Meg W
The stove is barely recognizable. The damage was so extensive.
Patricia
Wow, I can’t believe how devastated the kitchen looks. There must have been a huge fire here.
Oliver
The fact that the stove was wooden didn’t help matters. Wood has a great affinity for fire.
Daphne
I hope no one was hurt in the fire. This was definitely dangerous.
Teddy
With this much damage, the house may fall down at any moment. I wouldn’t stay inside it for too long.
Louis
I hope the stove served well during its time. It can now rest in peace.
Shantel
Such a bad shape the stove is in. This can definitely never work again.
Anderson
The kitchen looks so old. It has sure seen some better days.
Storm
I wonder what could have caused such damage. I tend to think it was a fire.
