Our family had a Garland which burned wood (from the same woodlot I use today) and Uncle Charlie Gleckner had a steel Magestic in which he burned hard coal.
In the summer time homes would switch to kerosene stoves which usually were in the woodshed, back porch, or a summer kitchen, thus not over-heating the kitchen.
Glen Spencer in his younger days had a route covering Armenia Mountain homes where he drove horse and wagon and delivered kerosene to the various farm houses.
Our friends the Summers family lived on the Lower Mountain Road adjacent to the fine swimming hole.
A person could purchase a small metal box to be placed on one of the kerosene burners to use as an oven for baking.
Mrs. Summers could about daily bake bread. Boy was it good! Just the aroma told you so.
Susie Thomas also baked a great bread. Her large family still remembers it.
