Manual Cooking at forge possible?

Not looking for big spoilers, but in my current Stalker run I am about to start forging arrowheads at the  Riken. I just shot a deer and left the meat outside to keep me fed. With the update, can you still cook food and boil water at the furnace/forge?

Yes.  There's a surface for cooking on the top of the forge.  When you try to place your cooking pot or can, the spot highlights in orange.

Every fireplace offers at least one cooking slot for you to use the fire for cooking. Would have been very cheesy if they had removed the ability to cook on certain fireplaces where you previously had been able to cook on.
