Oh ALRIGHT then! "Technologies associated with the maintenance, use and management of fire, including but not limited to, bellows, firewood, hearths, bunsen burners, tuyeres, grates, flint-and-steel, banging two rocks together, differential tempering, and putting the woodash on the compost heap". SHEESH.
