		+	Scaurus answered on the RR list:
		+
		+	Immolated offerings of any kind are prohibited on dies atri, i.e.,
		+	incense or food or floral offerings which are burnt or libations which
		+	are poured onto fire of any sort. Libations, and food or floral
		+	offerings which are not burnt or poured onto fire are acceptable.
		+	One's lararium caerimonia should be altered to account for this.
		+
		+
		+	Fire may not be directly kindled on dies atri. The use of flint,
		+	matches, lighters (including electrical lighters), or other means of
		+	directly kindling flame should be avoided and fire previously kindled
		+	flame used. Those who cook with gas should check whether burners
		+	ignite from a constant pilot flame (which is permissible) or from an
		+	electrical lighter (which is not permissible). If a gas stove
		+	normally lights from an internal electrical lighter, the lighter
		+	should be unplugged and burners or oven ignited with a punt taken from
		+	a preexisting source of flame (an oil lamp or candle). Electric
		+	stoves do not directly kindle flame, so no special precautions need be
		+	taken. Ideally gas furnaces and hot water heaters should be treated
		+	on the same principle, but owing to the difficulty and expense of
		+	replacing such systems with compliant ones in the homes of
		+	practitioners, it is my opinion that a piaculum for kindling fire on
		+	dies atri with such devices if they do not operate from a constant
		+	pilot flame should be made. Obviously things like electric lighting
		+	are not affected since they do not directly kindle flame.
