Bonfire Cooking

[Mad Hawaiian]

It is said you can cook with the bonfire, how do I place my cooking stands to cook with it? I have placed them all around it (some even in the burning logs) and nothing seems to work.

The one time I had two cooking stands actually working, they randomly stopped allowing me to cook meat on them after one set of meat. I've never managed to get the pot work on it.

Anyone have a picture or diagram of how I should be placing them near the bonfire?

I'll look for the rocks around it and try again. I didn't know it changes color when it will actually cook.

Put the cooking spit directly over the campfire so that the meat would hang directly over the flames.

He is talking about the bonfire, not the campfire though.

thats just for outside lighting and warmth,, and to keep mobs away... NOT for cooking

I haven't built a bonfire yet, but the wiki page says you can place cooking stations near it and can be used for cooking. So I would assume that it should be possible?

Oh, didn't know there was a seperate thing, just thought he was using a different name for it
