LUM is a chimney
Hot is H
That leaves GAP
Lum = chimney
Opening =gap
H = Hot ( below ) last letter
Gap = opening
H = hot
lum = chimney
I believe the Scottish have a blessing: Long may your lum reek. Translated: long may your chimney smoke. Meaning, I think, long may you have enough to pay for coal.
The opening (gap) is either side of the (Lum ) chimney
