Stuffed bird

[animary]

According to Brodgar:
"Place the Raw Stuffed Bird in the oven or fireplace, then fuel it with 4 branches and light it. It will take roughly 20 minutes for the Stuffed Bird to bake."

I put 8 stuffed birds in oven fueled with two blocks. Next day they weren't even half cooked; put three blocks in and relit. Today they were about 3/4 done, two more blocks and lit it again. What will I find tomorrow? (Probably ashes.)

This doesn't corroborate Brodgar data.

For once I was correct. I returned to eight piles of ashes.

I believe rain puts out fire - It seems to have done when I was running a kiln all day, at least. Maybe you've been unlucky enough for this to happen each time?
Otherwise it's a question of how heat works in an oven. I know that a fireplace builds up heat overtime, which can offset the cook time from a fresh fire.

Also I've been tricked by the timer cycle before. Many times I've mistaken a cooked and half-burned item for a raw half cooked item, for example. Are you absolutely sure the birds weren't already cooked?

I suspect this is a case.

@animary:
RoB wiki data is correct here. Stuffed Bird takes 60 in-game minutes to cook in oven. Each branch adds 1 unit or 16 in-game minutes of fuel. And a single block is equal to 5 units (or 80 in-game minutes) of fuel for ovens. Cooking in a "cold" fireplace is slightly slower, as it needs to build up its Heat meter first.

It is better to discuss issues with wiki data at a dedicated page like https://ringofbrodgar.com/wiki/Talk:Stuffed_Bird. This way your input could be noticed and processed by the active wiki editor much sooner

"Are you absolutely sure the birds weren't already cooked?"

The timer is visible as a transparent white overlay on the food which moves around as a clock hand, so it's easy to see how the cooking is progressing. I've no trouble with breads, pies, etc. - four branches for fuel and they burn out just as the food is done. But this is first time I've cooked stuffed birds in a couple of worlds.

Thanks. I'll play around with this ...one bird at a time (have a cabinet full, a couple reduced to ashes is no big deal, lol).

Name it Ohio Crispy Chicken. And it's never too late for parboiled pork anyway.

Burning cooked Stuffed Bird will display exactly the same progress indicator. Only slower.

IMO invobjs/stuffedbird-raw looks too close to invobjs/stuffedbird. It might be hard to notice the difference at ×1.0 UI scale (which downscales original HD image down to 25%) with in-game overlays:
