You might be surprised to know that the risk of asbestos exposure was not limited to normal suspects like construction materials in residential homes or on the equipment found in many industrial buildings. In fact, asbestos could even be found in one of the most basic commodities inside everyone’s home: stoves.
With virtually endless options at our disposal today for cooking food–electric stoves, gas stoves, toasters, toaster ovens, propane grills, rice cookers, fondue pots, sandwich grills, waffle iron, rotisserie, and microwaves––it may be hard to understand exactly how much was involved to heat up some leftovers in the days of “wickless stoves”.
But in the early 20th century, these things were all the rage - call them the air fryers of their day.
And to light a wickless stove, you needed... today’s asbestos artifact - a “Victory-brand asbestos wick for stoves.”
Asbestos Artifacts is a series produced by asbestos attorney Justinian C. Lane and http://www.AsbestosClaims.law. Check out the rest of our YouTube channel and be sure to visit our website for any further asbestos inquiries, including how to qualify for a claim.
