An Oil Barrel on Fire. Bottom half is glitched through the floor.
An Oil Barrel is an environmental object found throughout Chernarus that can be used to create a small fire in DayZ.
An Oil Barrel can be lit on fire by selecting the "Put on Fire" command when a player is close enough. The fire can also be put out once lit by selecting the "Put out Fire" command.
The player does not need a Box of Matches in their inventory to light an Oil Barrel. This makes the Oil Barrel an effective means of cooking for survivors without the need to create a Fireplace. However, as Oil Barrels are generally only found in popular areas such as major cities like Elektrozavodsk it can be dangerous to enter these areas to cook meat.
