Details
Brick ovens are one of the building structures in-game that is mainly used as a source of fire. It is more efficient and cost-effective compared to the normal fire as it burns for 500 uses and it does not extinguish itself with the pass of time. It needs 100 of firewood to lit the brick oven, after that, survivors can craft items as much as they want and also make food without having to worry about their source of fire running out because of time. Once lit, it can be kindled for 10 of wood which will add 50 uses.

Trivia
- Survivors can no longer use brick oven as a source of fire from version 659 onwards.
- The brick oven can be stacked together resulting in a much longer burn duration. If one of the oven goes out of fire, the next oven will start to burn and this will reset the duration of the fire. This is ideal when mass producing item products.
- There is another variant of the brick oven and that is the ruined brick oven. Can only be found in ruins around cities and towns which can be disassembled for fire bricks. Also, ruined brick ovens can be found in safe havens where it can be reconstructed and reused again.
- The brick oven is required if survivors wish to take a bath inside a brick house.
