Cold fusion is not fire. It does not work the same way. Evidently,
Rossi's reactor requires external stimulation to keep the reaction under
control. That's how it works. You cannot dictate to Mother Nature how
things must work. If you unplug a Rossi cell and try to make it
self-sustain without input, it will melt.
An analogy to fire may be useful to understanding, but you cannot
engineer a reactor based on analogies.
