Grude (stove)
In Saxony , Thuringia and Brandenburg, Grude referred to a depression on the stove , which was filled with hot ashes in order to let cooked food slowly cook and keep it warm. Small iron cooking machines, in which a moderate, sustained fire is generated by coke pebbles, were named after this facility , Grude. These grud stoves (also known as Spar- or Pfennigherde) were specially built for Grudekoks , which are easily ignitable, but only smoldering, not with a flame, burns and emits a mild, even heat, whereby a good utilization of the heat is achieved. Since Grudekoks glows under the ashes for a long time, the stove did not have to be constantly monitored. Grud stoves could only be fired with Grudekoks, they were not suitable for other fuels. Hence they did not find as widespread use as stoves for other fuels.
The company Tänzers-Original-Grude-Ofen-Fabrik GmbH manufactured Gruden ( Tänzers- Grude-Ovens ) in Hanover-Linden from 1908 ; Friedrich Kochheim developed the Grudeherd further as the head of this company.
