James Sharp opened a gas stove factory in Northampton, England in 1836. He argued that piped gas was cheaper overall because the supply could be turned off when the stove wasn’t being used.
Electric potential energy is converted to thermal energy by a stove. It uses electrical resistance to create heat in the heating element and under the burners. electrons pass through substances with high resistance to flow of electricity
For more than 200 years, the Franklin stove was used to warm frontier dwellings and farmhouses.
In 1802, the first recorded use of gas for cooking was by a man named Zachaus Winzler. It took another three decades for the first commercially produced gas stove to hit the market.
The Franklin stove is believed to have been invented by Benjamin Franklin. It allowed heat to enter the room instead of going up the chimney because it had a labyrinthine path for escaping hot exhaust gases.

The history of the kitchen stove in Europe starts in the 18th century. People used to cook over wood fires on the floor or on low masonry constructions. The first chimney and waist-high brick-and-mortar hearths appeared in the Middle Ages so that one didn’t have to kneel or sit to cook.
The electrical stove had a slow start because of the unstable technology and because first cities and towns needed to be electric. The electrical stove began to replace the gas stove in domestic kitchens by the 1930s.
