	If you look at the center of the fire with a color picking program it is trivial to know when a stoke phase occurs. The Hue of a fire will be 60 during the no-stoke phase, and then the Hue will drop to 0 for the stoke phase.

 * Burning merrily: a normal stage where the fire is orange. Stoking the fire at this stage will put it out, but not immediately - it will go to the "smouldering out" stage first. This phase can last for anywhere from 10 to 45+ seconds.
 * Periodically, the fire will brighten then dim (orange -> yellow -> white -> yellow -> orange) over a period of 14-15 seconds. This period is a stoking phase. You must stoke the fire exactly once during each of these phases. If you correctly stoke the fire, it will continue burning and return to the previous "normal" stage at the end of this stage. If you do not stoke the fire in time, it will become "smouldering out".

 It is possible to leave the byproducts of firepit usage (charcoal, lime, ash) inside the firepit and still use it.

+This table shows yields for a full firepit and stoking times up to 60 minutes. Note that the actual burn time will be approximately 6 minutes longer due to warmup/cooldown periods. This assumes that fires are allowed to smolder out naturally; prematurely stoking the fire out incurs about a 5 minute penalty.

 *** Yes, that's what I did. Am I supposed to just wait it out? If so, is there any data on what the "stoked out" penalty is -- or possibly am I reading this table wrong, and it includes this somehow? [[User:Cory|Cory]] 02:30, 8 July 2009 (EST)
 **** When you stoke out a fire, it stops its production time immediately. If you simply stop stoking and let it smoulder out gracefully, it will run and continue to produce for another 5 teppyminutes. The above table was built on the assumption of the latter. --[[User:Numaris|Numaris]]
