Andrew,

The open fire is controlled by putting in more fuel or removing it. Same as a 3-stone fire. Suspending a pot above it makes it a stove ("an arrangement for cooking")

And Lanny says it well:
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.
