A bed of hot coals or burning material, used historically for heating or cooking purposes.
Compound of 'fire' and 'bed,' referring to a physical layer or foundation of burning material. Used since medieval times in blacksmithing and cooking.
Before modern ovens existed, a firebed was essential—bakers would rake hot coals to create even heat zones for baking bread, and blacksmiths controlled the temperature of their forge by managing the depth and arrangement of their firebed.
