cooking fire

Outdoor meal heat

A cooking fire is a fire used to prepare food, typically an open flame outdoors or in a hearth rather than a modern stove.

The term evokes camping, primitive conditions, or historical settings: We gathered around the cooking fire after setting up camp.

It distinguishes a fire's purpose from fires for warmth or light.
