In my opinion, 'fire' is earliest PIE *p(h)wa:-r-.

Dear Patrick
Still in the throes on your
Jurassic Park theory of Laryngeals.
PIE *puH2-°r
Actually H2 here is velar spirant voiced.
Greek pu:r
Anatolian puhr
(I suppose Miguel can provide better)
Now Uralic has :
UEW360 päjwä "fire" < *puG-wa
UEW366 päwe "warm" < *puG-ma
UEW368 peje "cook" < *puG
UEW385 pes^ä "cook" < *puG-c^a
G > yod in PU and causes vocalic fronting.
No Doubt (once again)
Forward a little kiss to Torsten on my behalf.
