Indeed, as someone who grew up with a wood stove (with a proper chimney), I was pretty confused by this point. Are chimneys rare in developing places?? Were chimneys rare in pre-industrial america??
A wood stove works well for heating but did you also used the stove for cooking?
No, although I expect it would work OK for stove-top cooking (but not for baking).
