So I love the new cooking system and I really like how it can keep your spirits up. There's a bit of a problem though; When the power goes out most of the cooking becomes unavailable because meats go off too quickly and building a campfire is far too dangerous (one slip of the keyboard and you're on fire) To fix this you can always sandbox and make sure the power never goes off but that kind of ruins the immersion. I'm proposing simple craftable items. 1) Wood fueled BBQ/Oven. Use concrete or metal parts and the carpentry skill to create a BBQ that functions using wood as fuel but doesn't set the surroundings on fire. OR apply something to an existing oven that turns it into a wood burning oven that can make you sick when near it (smoke everywhere) 2) Insulated pits or rooms that make items cold. Dig a hole and insulate with clothes and then make airtight with garbage bags/ duct tape and then craft a thick wooden lid to keep it deeper underground. This would work as a shoddy fridge. Basically keep food insulated and away from light and you increase it's life expectancy (air tight is always good too) Has this been suggested before?

Just hoping to suggest the ability to dump the contents of whatever might be inside containers, whether it be water or otherwise. Namely having an issue with having multiple pots of soup that went bad after the power was cut and now being unable to rid myself of the mess without actually consuming the rotten soup itself.
