Firemaking is a skill used to light fires, among other things. It is the companion skill of Woodcutting, often trained by players to complete quests or minigames that require a certain level of Firemaking. A number of quests with good rewards require Firemaking skills, such as Recipe for Disaster and Desert Treasure. Similarly, a Firemaking-oriented minigame with good rewards include Shades of Mort'ton. Another use for Firemaking is the ability to make a fire and cook things like meat and fish on the spot; when low-level players fight Giant rats, they can then cook the rat meat and consume it to heal life points.

Burnt-out fires leave behind a heap of Ashes. Ashes sell mainly because they are a required ingredient to make the Serum 207 potion which many members use to power-train Herblore, but are otherwise completely useless. Players can usually profit from burning cheaper logs and collecting the ashes, but doing so would effectively halt any serious progress toward training the Firemaking skill.

Temporary boosts
There is only one way to temporarily boost firemaking above one's level (excluding the skill cape), and that is through the use of an orange spicy stew which has a chance of boosting or lowering firemaking by 1 to 5 (available as a result of the Evil Dave sub-quest for Recipe for Disaster.)
