Well so far it seems that most people in Cda and the USA call the thing a "stove".
What do you call it ?

Agree with Askolover,
Always called a stove. Refrigerator always called "the Frigidaire," no matter the make. Washers were often called "the Maytag."

"Your Dinners On The Stove"
Depending on where you live in the UK the cooker , hob , oven, range can still be called a "Stove" as generic as "Hoovering the carpet" . I live round the corner from the "Stoves" company who have been building stoves since the 1920`s .
If your a scouser yall be calling it a stove, the company is nicknamed "Stovies" and you will be taking your dirty laundry "Down The Bagwash" meaning one will be attending the launderette !!
Stoves had been a strong presence in the UK with many firsts, such as the gas fanned oven called the Rotostar which had a spinning gas jet to heat the oven . In early 2000 they branched out into "Range Cookers" which is what is
so familiar in many a modern kitchen if one doesnt have a built in or built under combination.
Heres the link to "Stoves" The Company heritage & products and a pic many of you will have seen one of the first Stoves Range Cookers shown in many of my kitchen shots with washers.

Our Heritage
From a small company in the heart of northern England to one of the largest manufactuers in Europe, with over 100 years of being Engineered For Food. This is the story behind the history and heritage of Stoves.
My grandmother tended to call hobs or cooktops "the gas"
"I'll put it on the gas"
"It's on the gas"
"Turn down the gas"
She did this despite having exclusively used electric cookers since the 1980s and had various hallogen and induction hobs.
