Canada

This toaster design became popular between the late 1800s to the early 1900s, with the prevalence of gas and coal stoves entering households (Ref.1). Prior to the mid-late 1920s, when electricity began to be installed in most Canadian homes (Ref.2), this toaster used heat from coal and gas stoves to toast bread.

Function

Two toast bread on one side at a time using a stove. Can toast up to four slices of bread at once.

Technical

There are no electric components or wiring within this toaster, it simply acts as a structure that would be placed over a stove heating element. The toast would be placed on the four wire racks, and the heat from the stove would travel through the vents in the toaster and heat the toast. This toaster also became known as a camping toaster, for its practical use for camping. (Ref. 1)
