Even though Thompson’s invention was a hit at the time, there were many problems with the Rumford stove. Do to so many problems with the Rumford stove, designs continued to improve it 5. Finally patented in 1834, Stewart Oberlin’s invention help put a stop to the Rumford stove’s malfunctions

1. Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist made the design of a soot less kerosene oven 2. Jordan Mott, invented the first usable coal oven in Motts oven was named baseburner, the baseburner was equipped with ventilation to burn the coal adequately. 3.
