A lit firepit as it appears in the game's starting menu
A firepit is a deployable object the game. Its primary purpose is to cook meat, but it can also be used as a quick light source.
Overview
A firepit is the only known way to cook raw meat. Cooked meat is comparable to an MRE, restoring 100% of your Hunger and 30% of your Health. A firepit is deployed from Firewood by clicking on it in your inventory and clicking on "Make Firepit." Once deployed, a firepit can not be moved nor put back into your inventory.
