Kitchener range

Last updated

The Kitchener Range (c. 1802) is a closed-top range patented by George Bodley, a Devon iron-founder. It had a cast-iron hotplate over the fire with removable boiling rings. [1] The second image is more common that the final one, having an oven only to one side. The term Kitchener appears to be applicable to either the single or double oven design.

A further claim, that the Kitchener range was designed by William Flavel in 1829, and lives on in the modern interpretation by Rangemaster, [2] who are still based at Flavels original foundry in Royal Leamington Spa, England.

Gas stove

A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by combustible gas such as syngas, natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas. Before the advent of gas, cooking stoves relied on solid fuels such as coal or wood. The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s and a gas stove factory was established in England in 1836. This new cooking technology had the advantage of being easily adjustable and could be turned off when not in use. The gas stove, however, did not become a commercial success until the 1880s, by which time supplies of piped gas were available in cities and large towns in Britain. The stoves became widespread on the European Continent and in the United States in the early 20th century.
