Is the antique oven safe?
Ho ho ho, I found an antique oven in a box while scavenging and brought it back to the base.

The temperature is starting to drop, so I'd like to use it for a local heat source. So far I've been extremely careful with my Charcoal BBQ to never leave it on and unattended, However, is the Antique Oven safe to use as a long-running heat source? From a gameplay PoV, it would make sense that the oven's "niche" is as a safe heat source.

However, the wiki has conflicting information. The header for the Heat Source page says that any heat source has a chance to "...burst into flames and burn the surrounding area to ashes if left on and unattended." But the entry for the Antique Oven itself says it can be placed indoors "...without the risk of the player or the building burning..."

Googling for information hasn't turned up a conclusive answer.

As long as I know, its the safest heat source. It can not spread fire indoors, though MAYBE could cath on fire if you have left something burned inside, such as what happens with ovens.

dont think it will catch fire at all, pretty safe to use indoor
