The Stove is a brick cooker with two jobs. Its top is a grill that cooks 6 items at once, anything a campfire can cook. And the whole block is a heat source for a Cooking Pot or Skillet set on top. It is placed already burning and gives light level 13 while lit.

A lit stove grilling six raw cuts at once: beef, porkchop, chicken, mutton, salmon and cod.

Right-click the Stove with raw food to lay one item on the grill. Do it again to fill the next spot, up to 6. Each item has its own timer, and when it is done the cooked food pops up off the grill for you to pick up. Food that can’t be grilled isn’t placed; you just use it as normal.

You can’t take raw food back off by hand. Let it finish, break the Stove, or cover its top (below) to get it back. The grill gives no experience.

While the Stove is out, food stays on the grill but stops cooking. It loses progress twice as fast as it gained it, down to raw, and picks up again once you relight:

One item on the grill with the heat gone for 6 seconds (shaded): 18 seconds of cooking falls back to 6 seconds, so it is done after 48 seconds instead of 30 seconds (dashed line).

Anything in the block above that reaches down to the grill covers it, and a covered grill drops all its food and takes no new food. That includes a Cooking Pot or Skillet on the Stove, so a Stove either grills or heats a pot, never both at once. Carpets and bottom slabs cover it too; thin blocks that stay clear of the middle of the grill don’t.

The grill runs every campfire recipe in the game, including the 7 the mod adds. Each of them takes 30 seconds on the grill. The same food cooks much faster in a Skillet.

  • Hot feet. A lit Stove burns anything standing on it for ½ heart at a time. Sneak to walk across safely. Fire Resistance protects you too. The burn has no knockback.
  • Mobs avoid it. Mobs walk around a lit Stove as if it were fire.
  • Breaking it drops the Stove and whatever is on the grill.
  • No hoppers. Hoppers can’t load or unload the grill. For automatic cooking, put a Cooking Pot on the Stove instead.
  • Any water bucket works, modded ones included. In creative mode, lighting and putting out cost nothing.
