		+	=== Half-an-Eye Stoking Method ===
		+	You can use the (pinned) firepit menu to help you track whether you've already stoked that cycle. This method allows you to keep half an eye on the firepit instead of watching like a hawk for the fire to change color.
		+
		+	Starting the fire:
		+	#Light the firepit and pin the menu. The menu should show an option to "Stoke the Fire" with your [[Iron Poker]] or [[Sharpened Stick]].
		+	#Wait for the first time the fire turns white hot or yellow. '''Click''' the "Stoke" action, and notice that the "Stoke" menu item disappears.
		+	#The next time you see that the fire is deep orange, click on an empty spot in the pinned menu so that the "Stoke" menu item reappears.
		+
		+	Now that the fire is started, you only have to worry about the stoke cycle twice:
		+	*If you look at the fire and see that it's dark orange, then click the pinned menu to make sure that the "Stoke" menu item is visible.
		+	*If you look at the fire and see that it's yellow or white, check the pinned menu. It will be in one of two states:
		+	**If the "Stoke" option is available, click it.
		+	**If the "Stoke" option is '''not''' there, '''do not''' click anywhere on the menu. Now you can keep half an eye on the fire until it turns orange again.
		+
		+	In both cases, make sure to click the menu instead of using the [[hotkey]] to stoke the fire.

 * A very dim warmup stage, immediately after lighting. Stoking the fire at this stage will put the fire out immediately and you will recover all materials except Tinder unburned.

-* 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 this brightening sequence, and preferably before it goes from white -> yellow. If you correctly stoke the fire, it will continue burning and return to the previous "normal" stage at the end of this stage.  Be careful you stoke the fire only once over the <i>entire</i> brightening sequence, otherwise it will quickly smolder the fire, decreasing the fire burn time by 6 minutes than if it slowly smoldered out.
