Thank You
You're welcome.
During the year 1692, various types of stoves were in use, although their availability and prevalence would have varied depending on the region. In Salem, Massachusetts, which is most likely the Salem you're referring to, the primary source of heating and cooking during that time would have been an open hearth or fireplace.
Open hearths were large, open fireplaces commonly found in households during the 17th century. They consisted of a stone or brick hearth with a chimney above it to let out smoke. Cooking was done using various equipment such as kettles, pots, and pans that were placed directly over the fire or hung from a spit. The fire in an open hearth was fueled by firewood.
It's worth noting that during this time period, stoves as we know them today were not widely available, especially in the American colonies. The concept of a fully enclosed stove, with a fire contained within, would later develop in the 18th century with the invention of Franklin stoves and later the Cast Iron Stove by Benjamin Thompson (also known as Count Rumford) in the late 18th century.
To determine the specific types of stoves used during 1692 in Salem or any other location, it would be helpful to consult historical records, diaries, literature, or accounts from that period. These sources may shed light on any advancements or variations in stoves that were present during that time.
