# The Rabbinic prohibition of Shehiya is to leave a pot of food that’s not cooked on a Kirah (double burner stove<ref> [[Shabbos]] 38b</ref>) from before [[Shabbat]] because one might come to stoke the coals. <Ref> S”A 253:1 based on Mishna [[Shabbat]] 36b with Rashi that the prohibition is based on stoking the coals (Quoting the gemorah on 34b), Rashi mentions that there is an additional issue of 'Mosif Hevel (Adding heat, which is normally associated with the rabbinic prohibition of Hatmanah) though Tosfos and many others call into question. </ref>
# There is a Rabbinic prohibition of Shehiya to leave a pot of uncooked food on a Kirah<ref> [[Shabbos]] 38b</ref> on Friday going into [[Shabbat]] because one might come to stoke the coals on [[Shabbat]]. <Ref> S”A 253:1 based on Mishna [[Shabbat]] 36b with Rashi that the prohibition is based on stoking the coals (Quoting the Gemara 34b), Rashi mentions that there is an additional issue of 'Mosif Hevel (Adding heat, which is normally associated with the rabbinic prohibition of Hatmanah) though Tosfos and many others call into question. </ref>
# A modern stove or gas burner is the equivalent to a Kirah and Shehiya would apply to it.<ref>Rav Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadia Shabbat v. 1 pp. 48-9) writes that seemingly there is not prohibition of Shehiya with a gas stove or burner because it didn't exist in the days of Chazal. Since it didn't exist in the days of chazal and functionally is different than the coal-heated stoves of chazal, perhaps we can't invent a gezerah today to forbid Shehiyah on modern stoves. However, he cites numerous poskim who write that there is a prohibition of Shehiyah with a gas stove. These poskim include: Panim Meirot 1:84, Maharsham 3:165, Maharam Brisk 2:76, and Shoel VeNishal 1:36. [In conclusion, Chazon Ovadia pp.49-50 seems to agree with those who are strict on the matter as he says in order to satisfy the opinion of Maran one should cover the fire. Additionally on p. 44 he writes that nowadays one can be lenient if it is for the day time meal, implying that otherwise not.]</ref>
