What Did We Do Before Water Heaters?

Baby, it\’s COLD outside and weather like this always makes me appreciate water heaters and the fact that I have hot water with the turn of a spigot. 

So, how DID people heat their water before water heaters? 

Well, typically the water was heated over a wood fire or on a stove that was either coal or wood-fired.  During the Industrial Revolution, some cities had a gas works that gasified coal for the production of \”natural\” gas, which could then heat the water buckets. 

In rural areas, heating water was a process…especially in winter.   During winter, water was obtained from snow melted on the stove. So, first, the snow was heated to get water, and then the water was heated to get enough for washing and rinsing dishes and leftover water was used for a bath.  Two pans were always on the wood stove, one melting and the other heating.
