The Stump Brazier is a decorative fire built from Hardwood, one of the brazier designs Robin sells at the Carpenter's Shop. It shares its recipe price with the Barrel Brazier, in the middle of Robin's range. It takes only Hardwood and a piece of Coal, so it is quick to build for a farm with a steady Hardwood supply. Lit, it gives a moderate glow, and a click turns it off again.
Recipe
Robin keeps the recipe in stock at the Carpenter's Shop. It costs more than the Wooden and Stone designs but well under the Gold, Carved, Skull and Marble ones.
Hardwood is the part that needs the right tool. Large Stumps only break for a Copper Axe or better, and Large Logs need a Steel Axe. Each stump gives a couple of pieces, which covers a good share of one brazier. Behind a Large Log at the top of Cindersap Forest lie the Secret Woods, where the stumps grow back every day. A morning visit there keeps a brazier project moving without touching the Hardwood saved for buildings. The Coal comes from rocks in the Mines or from a Charcoal Kiln.
The Barrel Brazier carries the same recipe price, which makes the two easy to weigh against each other. The barrel asks for fifty pieces of Wood and a Solar Essence taken off a monster, while the stump asks for a handful of Hardwood. For any farm that already swings a Steel Axe, the stump is much the quicker build.
Hardwood arrives from a few other directions as well. A Large Log gives several times what a stump yields once it finally falls. The crates and barrels in the Mines hold a piece now and then, and the Traveling Cart sometimes has a stack for sale.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
A Stump Brazier works indoors or outdoors. Clicking it lights the flame, and clicking again puts it out. While lit, it glows over the tiles around it, which is plenty for a porch, a bench or a forest-style garden corner.
The flame reaches about seven tiles, wide enough to cover a cabin door and the path leading up to it. A Torch carried in the hand lights roughly three, so one stump does the work of a small row of them.
The design is a hollow tree stump with the fire burning inside. That makes it the natural pick on a wooded farm, where it stands among real trees without looking like garden furniture at all.

Notes
A Charcoal Kiln pays for itself on a project like this. Spare Wood goes in and Coal comes out, so a run of braziers never stalls while waiting on a trip underground for the last piece of fuel.
