Pretty sure. How else would jerkstove spammers like you have found me?

Yes, but what does it mean? Is it a kind of jerk or a kind of stove? Or a kind of tove, maybe?

I think 'jerkstove' bears the same relationship to 'jerk' and 'stove' that 'doughnut' has to 'dough' and 'nut'.

nut=knot

(My ancestors reputedly tied them in knots so they'd flip themselves over in the oil, like crullers.)

So, stove=? Stoat? Stuffer? Stoat stuffer?

Personally, I always pictured a jerkstove as somebody petulantly tugging on a potbellied stove as though it would have some useful result.
