According to my late grandmother, however, she swore up and down that the heat ring was called a smoke ring back then. When they would cook on a wood burning stove, the heat ring would seal against the stove in order to help minimize a lot of wood smoke entering the kitchen.
That is what I heard. If you've ever cooked on a wood stove you know that there was always a little wisp of smoke sometimes coming from around the lid.
