So I've heard of it, but never attempted it, that you can set a burning object inside a fire-safe bin and it will perpetually burn.  How is this best achieved?

Alternatively, how can I intentionally and reliably create miasma -without zombies-.  I was inspired by the smoke thread over yonder, and wanted to make a miasma pump that would flood the map with miasma.  An alternative is to use smoke, but I'm fairly sure that'll kill my FPS even worse.

It's not eternal.  A burning object inside a bin will burn as long as it would outside the bin.  The bin just keeps the object from being extinguished if you drop it in water.

An artifact made from flammable materials, like a lignite grate or something, will burn forever without going out.  This is because artifacts don't suffer wear, so the fire can never destroy them.

I don't know of any object other than zombies that gives off miasma but never rots away.  You could do it by constantly dumping tallow or something, but that's not automated.

I have children trying to make artifacts all the time.  I shall have to have them make me a lignite mug!

Some materials, like lignite, have an ignition point but no/ a very high melting/boiling point; thus, once set on fire, they are very hard to put out.

I think lignite objects last about 3 seasons when set on fire, not so bad since most sieges happen during any month but winter
