Stuff like this was pretty common in the past. My grandma had a huge cast iron stove that could be used for heating, cooking, grilling, baking, it had a special compartment for boiling large amounts of water to bathe and it also had racks to dry towels and clothes.

EDIT: grammar

You’ve forgotten to mention that one of the primary fuel sources in that area is… yak dung. Dried patties that are burned, they give off a specific aroma.

It's not much different to stoves folks in remote parts of North America and Europe use tbh. Only difference is no door on the one in the photo - they're called wood burning stoves.
