Wincing and going with C. eek


A) if you don't have a first stone you're not going to have a pile.

2) A young egg is the egg in a state of development prior to the formation of the shell. Anyone who has killed and gutted a chicken is familiar with the eggs in this state. The assembly line looks a little like a brussels sprout bush.

Þ) If there isn't a seal around the edge of the door you're not going to be able to control the air coming into the stove and it will burn too hot and too quickly. On our stove the seal is a braided cord and it is attached to the edge of the door with some goop.



Also you get 'old eggs'. When collecting fresh eggs from chicken nest, we had to date them, so we knew which were the young ones and which were older. The older ones sometimes went 'bad' before we used them.
