Yes, that does appear to be what West Pondian calls a

when room heat and cooking typically used the same thing.)
You mean the thing in the kitchen that I cut and split a couple of
cords of firewood for every summer? I've cooked on it when we've had
a power outage that lasted more than a day, but it's normally used
for room heating.
