What is the point of this particular line?

burning wood (most common in developing nations). Burning wood for "ambiance" and in barbecues is fairly common, and is considered "the fastest-growing form of pollution".

I don't see how that matters for the article, it appears to be an attention-grabbing irrelevant statement! (User: Julien_Deveraux) --Julien Deveraux 1 July 2005 06:45 (UTC)

The last paragraph under "Gas and Electric Stoves" included the inane comment "Gas and electric stoves have always had one thing in common, they will burn you" and goes on to detail a strip of Nomex being marketed for use on the oven door--it also included links to where it can be purchased.

Two external links to commercial sites removed.

When you search for electric stove it redirects to this article, however electric cooker does not and there is a separate stub for this. I think this should that should be removed/and or combined into this article.

I am no expert on stoves but im pretty sure something is not a component of a stove. Maybe the components section should be removed entirely since there is a huge difference between how a gas stove works versus an electric stove Mopeyduke (talk) 18:41, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article includes references to:

1. The earliest recorded stove was created in Alsace, France in 1490.
2. The Ancient Egyptian, Jewish and Roman people used stone and brick ovens, fueled with wood.
3. In 1735, the Castrol stove, or "stew stove"... was the earliest recorded wood-burning stove.
4. The first wood-burning stove was patented in Strasbourg in 1557.

These cannot all be simultaneously true.
