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.
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.
