Kenur / Stone stove

Il-kenur tal-ġebel kien jintuża qabel l-użu tal-ispiritiera. Fiż-żmien il-qedem il-kenur kien isir mill-missier jew minn nannu f’kull familja. Kien oġġett li minn ġebla kien jissawwar il-kenur. Kien jieħu ftit ħatab niexef biex joffri dik il-fjamma bajda u sabiħa.
The stone stove, ‘kenur’, was used before the gas stove. In the olden days the stone stove was made by the father or the grandfather of the family. It would take some dry firewood to make a small white flame.
