1 Temperature dropped in chimney fire
S???

2 Individual dish served in bed in small cottage
C???T?E

HELP PLEASE

1. is SACK. Chimney = stack. drop the t for temperature. To sack means to set fire to a place.

The second one is COCOTTE (individual dish) - COT inside COTE.

Sorry to nit-pick, Torvic, but to sack a town means to plunder or pillage, not necessarily to destroy by fire. The more likely definition here is in the sense of sacking or firing someone from a job.
