[Stoves] Stove Definition

[Lanny Henson]

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
