Ben Franklin's STOVE Back in 1742, Snow fell fast and cold winds blew. Ben Franklin's fireplace was bright, Burning wood both day and night. But Ben would rub his icy feet, " Too much smoke, and where's the heat? A fireplace does little good, For it uses too much wood. I'll build an iron stove instead, It will burn less wood, " Ben said.
