SUMMARY"Tartaria radium stoves: where's the smoke going?" [Connections: Tito's screenshots, Nov 5, 2026]
RECORDThe "Royal Red Cross" was a parlor stove line; Red Cross stoves were made by the Co-Operative Foundry Company of Rochester, NY, 1867–1930. The ad card says "For sale by Roberts, Parry & Co." (a dealer) and "a double heater if desired."
RECORD (the video's own diagram)The labeled parts read "Fire Pot," "Clinker Door," "Ash Pit or Base Section," "Ash Door," "Feed Door Damper." Clinker is fused coal ash; an ash pit catches ash. The stove burned coal. The smoke left through a flue collar on the back into a stovepipe, which a front-view parts diagram doesn't show
RECORDRadium was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, after these stoves were already on the market
KILLED"Radium-powered, smokeless Tartarian stoves." Killed by the video's own diagram (Rule 15)
