Last night my wife was flipping channels and as she went through I saw a glimpse of what I thought looked like someone feeding wood into a stove "GO BACK! GO BACK!" (only a hearth.com member right?) I said. It was the local PBS affiliate airing a show called "Fannies Last Supper," which is about a guy from a cooking show who recreated an authentic 11 course Victorian era Christmas dinner utilizing Victorian era methods, which of course included cooking with wood. It was pretty neat watching the cooks prepare all of the old dishes in a kitchen at a constant 95 degrees from the heat of the massive 1880s era stove. Check out some of the pictures here:

The name on the stove is "Cyrus Carpenter & Co - Boston". Googling that found this:

Pretty cool...
