IIRC, one of the pictures at Cindy Renfrow's site that are archived on the 
lindah site shows a center room brickwork with what appear to be a series of 
small fireboxes built into it around the walls of the base, overlaying this 
is a flat surface with a pot or 2 sitting on it. If this is not a stove, I 
would be greatly surprised. Certainly there is no need to conjecture a pot 
with fire directly coming into contact with the pot itself if this is a stove 
type construction. And once the surface was heated it would be a simple 
matter to use the fireboxes to keep the surface variously hot depending on 
the type of woods, etc., were maintained in the firebox and the frequency of 
replacing fuel or damping the flames.
