"World's Largest Stove Destroyed by Fire".
Whaa?
Aren't stoves made out of, like, metal? Isn't the whole point of a stove, well, the oven part anyway, to make fire?
And yet, the article says that the stove, built in 1893, was made of oak.
who the hell makes a stove out of wood?
Oh man. I just don't understand.

Neh, I googled "giant Michigan Stove" and looked at images. Just an Oak statue of a stove. Not a functioning stove.
Why ... why would you build a giant MODEL of a stove? Just because you can, maybe.
Because GIANT replicas of small household objects were all the rage at turn-of-the-century state fairs...displayed the magnitude of the state's industry and impressed the kiddies. Made a nice subject for postcards. That sort of thing...
