 == Description ==
-A '''campfire''' can be used to heat items like [[food]] and [[ore]].
+A '''campfire''' is a [[firemaking]] fire source used to heat items, cook [[food]], smelt [[ore]], and create [[ash]].
 == Creation ==
-If you do not have a [[steel and flint]], you can use a kindling on a [[wood scrap]] to create a crude campfire, with lower quality.
+* The [[quality]] of the [[kindling]] determines the maximum quality of the campfire.
+* Examine the campfire to see its quality.
-You can create only one campfire per tile, an additional campfire created on the same tile will just fuel the existing campfire.
+* Higher quality campfires heat items faster.
 == Usage ==
-To extend the life of a fire, you need to add [[fuel]] to it. Activate a fuel item, for example a [[log]] or [[wood scrap]], right-click the campfire, and select ''Burn''. Alternatively, the fuel can also be left inside the campfire till the fuel decays from fire damage.
+* Campfires can be used to heat items, cook [[food]], and smelt [[ore]].
-The campfire caps out at 20 kg worth of fuel, so adding any more than that is a waste.
+== Snuffing and relighting ==
-You can examine a campfire to get an event message telling how long it will burn. If it says that it ''The fire burns steadily and will still burn for a long time'', then it means that you have more than 10 real life minutes worth of fuel in it. If it says anything else, you'd be wise to add more.
+* A lit campfire can be snuffed by right-clicking the campfire and selecting ''Snuff''.
-Once all fuel has been used up, the campfire will turn into 0.10 kg of ash and all items inside are dropped on the tile the campfire was on.
+== Notes ==
-=== Re-lighting ===
+* Creating a campfire will slightly damage the [[steel and flint]], unlike when lighting an [[oven]] or [[forge]].
-An unlit campfire can be lit again: Put a kindling in your inventory, activate your steel and flint, right-click the campfire, and select ''Light''.
+* It is best to keep a campfire in a "will burn for a long time" state, because it loses heating power when fuel begins to run low.
-Creating a new campfire on a tile with an unlit campfire will light the existing one. The campfire will appear glowing but does not show any fire animation or smoke, in order to reduce the strain on your graphics card.

-* The quality of the material you fuel the fire with does not impact on the heating speed or lifespan of the fire, only the weight matters. It is said that a [[birchwood]] campfire burns the longest, however.
