Stove won't accept any items

[kusev]

Hello there,

I just rebuild my house and naturally placed a stove. Thinking I have the higher tier fireplace I destroyed the one outside.
Here comes the surprise - the stove won't accept any item in the 3x3 GUI - tried with Salem Wiki: Milkweed Root and Salem Wiki: Unbaked Wortbaked Warbite - no go on both.

Am I doing something wrong of this is a serious bug in the stove functionality?

Regards,
John Keel

You can put different items in stove than in fire. Baked wartbites and milkweeds should go into fire or the smoker.
Stuffed turkeys can be place in stove

It makes no sense to me as stoves are essentially upgraded fireplaces.
Some moderator can then move this topic to the Suggestions section cause having a stove that is outperformed by a simple circle of stones seems ... kinda stupid, doesn't it.

I think this has come up once, but I can't be sure on it without some digging. (Might have been in the announcement thread discussing the stoves.) I do have to agree, though, that anything that can go in a fireplace (firepit) should also go into a stove (hearth--a fireplace with room for some cook pots).

I think they did good making it the way they did. Things cook differently in a stove than they do over a fire. The smoker replaces the fireplace, and that makes sense.

The smoker cooks in a completely different way than open fire so the stove is closer to a fireplace.
Also in terms of resources needed to make, the stove is the natural follow up - the meat smoker - I can't exactly put my finger on what use it is.

ps. The stove (as it looks now) is more like a mantle so I assume it is an open fire source rather than a closed oven.

That would be correct. It's a larger fireplace than a house would typically have today so there would be room for hooks, cookpots, etc. The whole thing together would be called a stove. Later, when potbellied stoves came around (burning coal or wood), they got the same name and it has stuck through the years.

The things you put "in fire" are not cooked over open fire. Those are the items you put in the ashes / coals. Have you ever baked potatoes in the ashes of a campfire? That's what the campfire inventory is for. Not to burn / roast stuff, but to... char it, I think. Don't know proper english word for it, sorry
