There product is one of the popular sort of interest on that site is something the community calls �stove�

Sincerely,

The whole sentence is poor English. It would be more appropriate if it read:

Their product, which is something the community calls a "stove," is one of the most popular interests on that site.

Dear Christine123,

Thank you for your reply!

The whole sentence is too long, so I would add previous or next phrases to the original sentence.

" I will give you a really example that XYZ that would shed some light. There product is one of the popular sort of interest on that site is something the community calls �stove�.
The actual product � the technical term is not called stove.
There is no such a thing as stove, they call it ranges or cook tops.
That is the industrial terms. "

I hope this is useful.
Sincerely,

student teacher
