i'm new. i like the game. my question is; how many acres of wood is needed to cook a single meal? so far i have loaded two five block high stacks of firewood into the fire and still have not cooked my first meal.

Show us a screenshot of the content of your fire pit. Fuel demands certainly rise with the amount of food or servings you want to cook, but several stacks of firewood sound like a layer 8 or mod problem.

Sounds like your meal isn't cooking no matter how long you wait, which means the recipe is wrong. In order to count as a meal, you need both the right combination of ingredients, and identical amounts of each.

To cook the meal you need fill at least two position with same amount of ingredients and recipe must shown up. If doesn´t show, it´s wrong.. and you aren´t able to cook this meal no matter how many firewoods you put there.

well, the little box with the flames coming off of it was active. i deleted the game and am trying again  on another map

All it did in that case was keep you warm, assuming you were standing somewhere close to it. It's the bit @DejFidOFF underlined that is important.

(BTW, good job explaining that, @DejFidOFF. Back when I had the same problem figuring it out, I was trying to parse the text several people posted to figure out what they meant. In retrospect it was easy, but your pictures would have made all the difference to me.)
