Can anybody please explain to me why the Latin word focus "fireplace" and the Old Slavonic word пещь (peshch') "stove"* are not cognates (PIE /f/ yields Old Slavonic /p/)?

The Old Slavonic letter щ (shch) is always derived from the letters к (k) or г (g) + т (t); Я пеку (Ya peku) "I bake"

*see "The russian stove"
