[Stoves] Stove Definition

How about this one: 

"A stove is an apparatus to which one can meaningfully apply the GACC WBT 4.2.2 procedures." (Meaningfully meaning one can get out of group 1 results.) 

Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo - and Denver has the US largest celebration. I bought a wonderful ear of corn ($3.00), that took 20 minutes to "roastl" (husk-on) in a gas-powered chain driven "oven-roaster" (but not a stove), with the corn travelng about 20 feet, with maybe 15 feet undergoing roastng. I can't see a way to apply any WBT to this device. I can barely see it for most of the other "apparati" being proposed

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
