The oven consists of a hollow in the ground which is filled with stones. Cooking is done by building a fire on the stones, then lining the hollow with the hot stones, placing the food wrapped in green leaves on them, and covering the whole over with earth. The moisture from the leaves and green grass on the stones steams the food.] It may or may not be covered by an open-sided, thatch-roofed hut. The fanag is the work place for the members of the lineage.
