I apologize for the "is a pig on a stick over a fire a stove?" question.

I hope I did not cause the waist of too many man hours on such a silly question.

To settle this issue so we can move on to more serious topics, I think I finally have a definition for a stove that we can all agree on: When I saw Crispin's photo of the skewers on a grill it came to me!

Stove: an apparatus that puts the heat, on the meat, so to speak. smile

Note: The 3-stone fire is a stove because of the 3 stones onto which a pot can be placed. Take away the stones and you only have a fire and do not have any stove structure, so a simple fire is not a stove.

But does it become one when a pot is suspended over it?

To my mind a stove needs some way to control air, either by
controlling the draught or by restricting air. A 3 stone fire might do
this but an open fire cannot.
