Still stuck after all four? That usually means it's worth re-reading the tiles from your own last guess rather than reaching for a brand new word.

The Answer

The solution is STOVE. It's a noun that means A heater, a closed apparatus to burn fuel for the warming of a room.. Example: "1815 Robertson Buchanan, Appendix to A Treatise on the Economy of Fuel, and Management of Heat, Especially as it Relates to Heating and Drying by Means of Steam. p. 309.[I]n the countries of modern Europe, the use of stoves prevail throughout the north; while in France and Great Britain, open fires are used. In the warm countries of Italy and Spain, there are very few chimneys, and the only method usually practised of tempering the cold... is to burn charcoal in portable brasiers." Forms: stoves.
