Daniel UivaryMy love for old stoves started before I knew it. Growing up, history was one of my favorite subjects and my first job as a machinist developed my love for iron and steel. What better of a hobby to have. Looking for and then finding an old stove...... Read more of Daniel Uivary's story and view some of his antique stove photos or leave a comment for him on His Page.

Stove History



January, 1878 - J.R. Van Evera & Co. have sold over 100 Round Oak stoves in the city of Maquoketa, Iowa, which is double the number of any one kind ever sold there, and this fact goes to show that they are the best in use.




January, 1894 - Woodruff & Sons, stove manufacturers at Salem, Ohio, say that although prices were lower than formerly their business during the year 1893 was 20 per cent greater than during the previous year. The business outlook for 1894 is regarded by them as fair. The repairs at their shop have been completed and work will be resumed sometime this month, although the exact date has not yet been decided upon.




January, 1889 - The main building of the Detroit Stove Works, Detroit, Mich., was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, Jan. 21. The watchman, James Middleton, was burned to death. Loss $30,000. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.



January, 1901 - William H. Dwyer, treasurer of the Peninsular Stove Company of Detroit, Mich., died at his home Sunday night, January 13. He was only 38 years of age and born in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1863. He had been connected with the Peninsular Stove Co. since it was organized by his father, James D. Dwyer in 1881.





January, 1899 - E. Bussey, E. Bussey, Jr., C.A. Shepard, W. Ross, W.H. Quigley and C.W. Macy are the incorporators of the Gold Coin Stove Co., of Troy, N.Y., capitalized at $40,000, for the manufacture of stoves.




January, 1894 -The Buck's Stove & Range Co., of St. Louis, MO, resumed work today, Jan. 18, as a matter of charity to its 350 employes. It is said there is no demand for goods, but they will be made for two months and stored.

Operating a Round Oak Cylinder Stove Safely

There are a few simple safety rules to operate a RO cylinder stove. The stoves I am discussing are the ROs built from the 1890s thru 1947.

I am addressing wood fuel operating procedures. Coal requires a different operating procedure.

1) I do not recommend burning a stove with defects such as holes in the cylinder barrel or cracks in the fire pot and ash pit or if there are gaps in the stove seams. Burning with defects limits the ability to safely control the fire.

2) Make sure "wood grate" is… Continue

What Features I like about the Round Oak Cylinder Stoves

Member Jerry Sage inquired how I obtained my ROs and wanted me to name 4 - 5 features I liked about the ROs. I assumed he was inquiring about cylinder style stoves.
I have bought and sold countless ROs since the 1960s and acquired them through several means and circumstances and some vicariously. Radio ads, newspaper and shopping news ads, ads in grocery stores, hardware stores and etc., word of mouth, auctions and farm sales, curbside and along highways. Several stoves were brought to me to res… Continue
