Does it have enough gas? or is the power out?

If it is a camp fire, get a plank of wood, (or log) that right click camp fire add fuel, the planks. then with some matches, and dook, (or clothes too) right click again and light.

My first thought was to search for charcoal. i found none. i havent found any gas but it doesnt look like a gas grill. i wish i could build a campfire but i cant find an ax to cut trees. People need more tool sheds and garages...

IF you can find propane, you can put that in the propane grill. I'm not sure about the other one, but I'd assume you could use petrol and perhaps logs, planks, twigs, or some other flammable to work it.

ok thanks i'll be looking for those things
You can find axes on zombies pretty often. As far as I know are the things that look like BBQ grills electric somehow. There are gas powered ones though that will work even if the power is out. You can loot the propane tanks from the grills and stockpile them for your own, might want to consider this when setting up a base since it means luxurious cooking.

Nice. all the zombies i kill drop clothes,wallets,and jewlery...i have the lucky perk always on but i have had no luck with axes....

Axes turn up in warehouses (all of them) pretty frequently. Look for the big wooden crates. Most of the warehouses have several axes, saws, and other tools inside. If you can find a warehouse that hasn't been picked clean, you should find more loot than you can ever use.

You use the map provided, find where your location is and go from there.

Well I guess its a matter of gamefication of some aspects of reality. There are also no raincoats so everyone beside outdoorsmen are pretty effed if it starts to rain and they can't find a roof.
