A potbelly stove is a cast-iron , coal-burning or wood-burning stove that is cylindrical with a bulge in the middle. [1] The name is derived from the resemblance of the stove to a fat man's pot belly . Potbelly stoves were used to heat large rooms and were often found in train stations or one-room schoolhouses . The flat top of the stove allows for cooking food or heating water.
