The Wooden Brazier is the cheapest of the fire bowls and the first lighting most farms buy on purpose. Robin sells the recipe at the Carpenter's Shop for a modest sum, and the build is ten Wood, a lump of Coal and a handful of Fiber, all of which are lying around by the end of the first season. Right-clicking it lights or snuffs the fire, which is the whole appeal: a brazier can be dark in the day and lit at night, or lit only when guests are expected. The flame throws a moderate glow about seven tiles across, enough to cover a patio, a fishing spot or a doorway. It is essentially a big torch on a stand, and it looks the part on a rustic farm.
Recipe
The recipe costs 250g at the Carpenter's Shop. Every brazier recipe is on Robin's shelf from the opening of the game, on any day of the week, and they can be bought in whatever order suits the wallet rather than cheapest first. Buying the whole set costs 13,250g, so the wooden one is a long way from the painful end of that list.
Each brazier takes ten Wood, one Coal and five Fiber. Wood comes from any tree. Fiber comes from cutting weeds with a scythe. Coal is the only ingredient worth a thought. It comes out of rocks in the Mines, and a Charcoal Kiln burns ten Wood down to a single lump in half an hour for a farm with timber to spare.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The brazier can be set down indoors or outdoors, and right-clicking it toggles the fire. When it is burning, the light spreads roughly seven tiles, strongest close to the bowl.
Braziers suit places where light is wanted some of the time. A pair flanking the farmhouse door makes a tidy entrance. One beside a fishing spot on the Farm Pond helps on an evening cast. A line of them along a dirt path gives a warm, uneven glow that reads as firelight rather than street lighting. Because they can be switched off, they also work as decoration in a room that is already lit, which is not true of the lamp-posts.

Notes
The rest of the family is the same bowl in grander materials, and the recipes climb steeply in price. Stone comes next for a little more, then the Barrel and Stump braziers, then Gold, Carved and Skull, with the Marble Brazier at the top of the list. The ingredients change as much as the price: the Barrel version wants fifty Wood and a Solar Essence, the Skull version is made from Bone Fragments, and the Marble one asks for Marble, an Aquamarine and a hundred Stone. The light each one gives is the same sort of moderate glow, so the choice is about how a farm looks rather than how well it is lit.
For brighter light the Wood Lamp-post is the step up. It needs a Battery Pack and fifty Wood, and it burns without a switch, so it covers a working path better than a brazier does. For something cheaper than a brazier, a plain Torch takes a piece of Wood and a little Sap, gives a smaller pool of light and can be stood on top of a fence post, which lights a long boundary for almost nothing.
