What year did benjamin Franklin invent the Franklin stove?
Benjamin Franklin's stove was not the first, and there a number of much earlier designs. Which of these was the first stove depends on what is meant by the word stove. There are masonry and ceramic stoves that were older in Europe, and the Kang bed stove in China. But these did not provide the same utility as the Franklin stove. Today, the original Franklin stove would probably not be called a stove either, but rather a fireplace insert. The stoves sold as Franklin stoves are not the same design, and were developed by people who came after Franklin.

Did the Benjamin Franklin stove have a Benjamin Franklin statue on it?
The "Franklin stove" (not "Benjamin Franklin stove") was named after its inventor, Benjamin Franklin, who would never have thought of putting a statue of himself on it. The Franklin stove is actually a metal fireplace liner that allowed a fire in the fireplace to heat a room more efficiently. It contained a hollow "baffle", a wide, thin iron box near (but not at) the rear. The baffle was open at the bottom and contained two holes on the sides. Heat from the fire rose on both the back and front of the baffle, so that air entering at the bottom of the box was more quickly heated. Heated air rises, but instead of escaping out the top of the chimney to no purpose, in the Franklin stove, the heated air exited into the room through the holes in the baffle's sides.
