I have a cooking pot on a stone fire place inside a short brown long barn. The stone oven doesn't light (I reported this yesterday)
However, as you can see, the water does not boil. It was sitting their for several minutes, which is more than long enough.
I put the same fish inside a gas canister powered camping cooker, and it worked perfectly (obviously the fish was ruined, as I didn't know you couldn't cook them whole)
