If you want exact instructions for making fire, you can find directions for building Genjuro's Fire in the directions for building an Ore Fireplace. But if you want to come up with your own stack for fire, this page will show you a few of the things people use to get a nice flamey look going.
Gold coins and com crystral receivers (red) are often used to make embers. Shadow ore looks like coal, and Dull Copper does a nice job of imitating ashes. Torches, candles, com crystals, forges and hidden lanterns can cause your fire to actually glow. Logs and Kindling look a lot like....logs and kindling. Some of the rare fire red plants make lovely flames. Experiment with these ingredients, and add an idea or two of your own!
