Heavy Metal, Albany, NY

Yesterday, I saw an exhibit on old cast iron stoves at the Albany Institute of History and Art.
Some big and very ornate stoves, for sure.
I bet you didn't know what a "dumb stove" was.
The question that crossed my mind was "how do you clean those darn things?"

Oh,I know! Its when you are struggling with lighting a cold stove...but you know its not your fault since you are a long time member in good standing on Hearth.com and have superior fire building skills...so you mutter under your breath "dumb stove!"

Yes!
