>A smoke cottage (savupirtti in Finnish) was a traditional wooden dwelling that had an internal-heating smoke stove or oven, but no chimney. As a result, when the cottage was heated, smoke would spread freely inside the room. Living in smoke cottages was common in Finland already during the Iron Age, and in rural areas they were still widely used up to the 19th century. The number of smoke cottages decreased most rapidly in Western Finland, where by the late 1800s most of the population had moved into houses equipped with chimneys. In the remote areas of Eastern and Central Finland, people still lived in smoke cottages in some places as late as the 1930s.
