The Stone Brazier is a decorative fire made from Stone, and one of the cheapest lights Robin teaches. Only the Wooden Brazier costs less to learn at the Carpenter's Shop. Its materials are all common finds from the first days of farming, so a whole row of them is easy to build early on. Once lit, it gives a moderate glow and can be switched off again with a click.
Recipe
The recipe is on sale at the Carpenter's Shop from the start of the game. Its low price makes it an easy first purchase for a farm that wants light after dark without spending much.
Each brazier takes some Stone, a little Fiber and a single piece of Coal. Breaking rocks with the Pickaxe gives Stone, both on the farm and in the Mines. Cutting weeds and grass with the Scythe gives Fiber. Coal is a little rarer. It drops from some rocks and from Dust Sprites in the Mines, and a Charcoal Kiln can also turn spare Wood into Coal at home.
Robin keeps all eight brazier designs on her shelf from the first week, and they can be bought in whatever order suits the farm. Taking the whole set home would come to a little over thirteen thousand gold, which puts this one near the bottom of a long shopping list and makes it the sensible place to begin.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The Stone Brazier can stand inside a building or out in the open. Clicking it lights the fire, and clicking again puts it out. While burning, it sheds a moderate light across the tiles around it, enough to mark a doorway or the corner of a pen at night.
The reach is worth knowing. A lit brazier throws its glow about seven tiles out, where a Torch held in the hand lights roughly three. One brazier therefore covers the ground that several torches would, without a line of sticks planted across the farm.
The stone bowl on its pedestal is plain enough to suit anywhere. It also matches the grey stonework of the standard farmhouse, so a pair set either side of the porch steps looks as though it came with the building.

Notes
Lighting a farm splits into two habits. Braziers and the Campfire wait for a click, which suits a spot that only wants light on certain evenings. The Wood Lamp-post and the Iron Lamp-post come on by themselves, stay on, and give more light again, so they belong on the paths walked every night. Starting with a few Stone Braziers and adding lamp-posts later is the cheapest way through.
The low price is the real point of this design. For less than the cost of one of Robin's grander recipes a farm can learn this one and then put up a dozen fires from rubble, and a dark yard cares far more about how many lights it has than about how polished they are.
