Because that's where you keep the deer and the antelope, of course. :-) Apparently the idea that you can put more than one pot on it to cook means you have a range (an arrangement, as it were). This use of the word goes back at least to Elizabethan English (as in Shakespeare's day). At that time even a fireplace that held more than one oven was a range. (That's how the word is used in the King James translation of The Bible, Lev 11:35.) Today the word implies a flat cooking top with an oven underneath, according to most dictionaries: a very particular arrangement.
