Mesorat%20hashas for Kelim 7:3

כִּירָה שֶׁנֶּחְלְקָה לְאָרְכָּהּ, טְהוֹרָה. וּלְרָחְבָּהּ, טְמֵאָה. כֻּפָּח שֶׁנֶּחְלַק בֵּין לְאָרְכּוֹ בֵּין לְרָחְבּוֹ, טָהוֹר. חֲצַר הַכִּירָה, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהִיא גְבוֹהָה שָׁלֹשׁ אֶצְבָּעוֹת, מִטַּמְּאָה בְמַגָּע וּבַאֲוִיר. פְּחוּתָה מִכָּאן, מִטַּמְּאָה בְמַגָּע וְאֵינָהּ מִטַּמְּאָה בַאֲוִיר. כֵּיצַד מְשַׁעֲרִין אוֹתָהּ. רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר, נוֹתֵן אֶת הַשַּׁפּוּד מִלְמַעְלָן לְמַטָּן וּכְנֶגְדּוֹ מִטַּמְּאָה בַאֲוִיר. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, נִטְמְאָה הַכִּירָה, נִטְמֵאת הֶחָצֵר. נִטְמְאָה הֶחָצֵר, לֹא נִטְמֵאת הַכִּירָה:

A double stove which was split into two parts along its length is not subject to impurity. [If it is split along] its breadth, it is subject to impurity. A one-pot stove which was split into two parts, by its length or by its width, is not susceptible to impurity. The extension around a stove, whenever it is three finger-breadths high, contracts impurity by contact and also through its air-space, but if it is less than this it contracts impurity through contact and not through its air-space. How do they determine the air-space ? Rabbi Yishmael says: He puts a spit from above to below and through that distance it contracts impurity through the air-space. Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya'acov says: If the stove contracted impurity, the extension is also impure, but if the extension becomes impure, the stove does not become impure.
