Summary
Three paragraph article citing an 1830 Lancaster Journal article that states that a Mr Benedict had obtained a patent for a coal fired stove for cooking and heating. The advantages of using coal wer said to be that foods could be cooked without a smoky taste and that coal was safer to use. The article says that one ton of coal kept the stove in constant use for the winter while a wood burning stove would require three or more cords of wood.
