A stove is an enclosed space in which fuel is burned to provide heating, either to heat the space in which the stove is situated, or to heat the stove itself and items placed on it. This article is principally concerned with enclosed stoves burning solid fuels for room heating. A kitchen stove is used to cook food. A wood-burning stove or a coal stove is typically used for heating a dwelling. Enclosed stoves are more efficient and prevents air from being sucked from the room into the chimney. Due to concerns about air pollution, efforts have been made to improve stove design. Pellet stoves, for example are a type of clean-burning stove. Air-tight stoves more completely combust wood and eliminate polluting combustion products. In the U.S. since 1992, all wood stoves being manufactured must limit particulate emission.
The Old English word stofa meant any individual enclosed space, such as a room, and 'stove' is still occasionally used in that sense, as in 'stoved in'. Until well into the 19th century 'stove' was used to mean a single heated room, so that Joseph Bank’s assertion that he 'placed his most precious plants in the stove' or René Descarte’s observation that he got 'his greatest philosophical inspiration while sitting inside a stove' are not as odd as they first seem.

I helped him carry her
He told me he had been a prize fighter once
Shuffled her through and out the door
We walked back in talked 'bout his boy at U.V.M.
And we began to put the new stove in
But I miss my stove, she's all alone
Call it love, she's been replaced
I miss my stove, she's all alone
She's right out front and looks a mess
Unwanted guest, we lied to her
I miss my stove, feel sad I guess
I know I shouldn't think about it anymore
"What's the point?", you say
But I'm reminded each time I walk out my door
My stove is gone to stay
He walked back, in talked 'bout his boy at U.V.M.
And we began to put the new stove in
But I miss my stove, she's all alone
Call it love, she's been replaced
I miss my stove, she's all alone
She's right out front and looks a mess
Unwanted guest, we lied to her
