The Hurds first stove attempt had glass in it. It was beautiful until the glass exploded and it smoked like crazy too, states Kent shaking his head. The second stove which Kent made was contrived from a van seat. It was the first model that showed possiblities claims Rosy. Kent researched and experimented with the general principles obtained from his van seat stove until he developed the present Hurd Students sign up Elementary students entering the Weber School District Schools for the first time and elementary students who have moved to a new attendance area within the district, should register for the coming school year at the school in their area on Thursday August 16 from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. The first day of school wiil be August 23rd.

Much like Tom Edison of old when his laughing classmates told him to frost the inside of the electric light no one bothered to tell him that it was considered to be impossible.

When Kent first began his stove production, he was able to complete one stove a week. Now, with the hired help of Gary Neilson, also of Plain City, and his unique invention from a 7 jet engine mount, he is able to produce two stoves a day. One might have wondered what a teacher would be doing with a jet engine mount.
