Fuel stone is also a typical way of cooking Babi Papuan traditional society with a stonefireplace at the roasted in large, biasannya measuring 2 x 8 meters. All pig entrailsremoved leaving a thick meat and fat attached to the skin.

Cutting finger symbolizes the pain and pain when losing a loved family member. The phrase is so profound, even should have lost limbs. For the people of the central mountains, the family has a very important role. For people Balim Jayawijaya togetherness in a family has its own values. "Wene opakima dapulik welaikarek mekehasik" or the basic guidelines for living together in one family, one family name / clan, one honai (home), one tribe, one parent, one language, one history / origin, and so on "(When Balim Looking Life - page 7 - Hisage, Julian Joli, 2005). That's why they had to cut her finger if there are families who died. 

According to other information we get, that the cutting finger is generally done by the mother. 
But did not rule out cutting the finger performed by family members of the parent male or female. Cutting finger can also be interpreted as an effort to prevent the 'recurrence' doom that has claimed the lives of someone in the family is grieving. 

A mother from Moni (a tribe in the area Paniai) we met explained that his little finger bitten by his mother when he was born. 
It had to be done by the mother because some children who were born before always died. With the right pinkie finger decided he had just given birth to a child, the mother hopes that what happened to the children had not previously happened to the baby. This sounds very eksrim, but in reality this is so, Moni home mom we met have given many grandchildren and great-grandchildren to the mother. 

Cutting finger done in various ways. There was a cut finger by using sharp tools such as knives, machetes, or ax. Another way is by tying finger with a rope for some time so the network is bound to be dead and then cut. 

But now the culture of 'cut finger' has now been abandoned. 
Rarely do we meet people who in recent decades. What remains can we meet today are those who've done it long ago. This is caused by the influence of religion who has signed up to remote areas in Papua.
