DETROIT — A fire has destroyed the world's largest stove Saturday, a Michigan landmark standing at the Michigan state fairgrounds.
Fire investigators believe lightning sparked the fire Saturday night. The stove was a total loss.
Built by the Michigan Stove Company, it was first displayed at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893.
The oak stove weighed 15 tons and stood 25 feet high.

First of all, prayers that everyone was safe. Second, too bad the entire city of Detroit didn’t burn down (with all people safely evacuated) so they could start Detroit all over again.

Thanks DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis. Elsewhere in the news, the world’s largest fridge was destroyed by runaway glaciers.

"A fire has destroyed the world's largest stove

Fixed.

The stove is not needed anymore, since Michigan people do not have, and do not want, a state fair. The Michigan fairgrounds and all the fairground buildings are supposed to be demolished.

Check it out: a wood, burning stove. In this case, it was a burning wooden stove.
