Fogón is masculine because it derives from Latin "focus" (fire/hearth), which was a masculine noun, and Spanish inherited this gender through sound changes that transformed "focus" into "fogón." The word's masculine gender is simply a direct inheritance from its Latin ancestor rather than following any productive modern grammatical rule.
