1. Try placing your cooking racks closer to the end you are going to stand on. When you click on them to get the cooked meat it will automatically go into your inventory (if you've also spaced the racks out to allow the meat to come between them).

2. Stop walking into the fire. It's not a "bug"; it's by design because people generally should not walk into an open fire, and if they do, they get burned and sometimes light other things nearby on fire. The "loud banging" is like a thump on the head saying, "stop walking into the fire".

So what you're saying is, don't put the cooking racks over the fire, and that the constant exploding noises under my feet are a "feature of the game" right, it was not like this at launch, and it makes no sense, and is definitely not a "feature of the game" its an annoyance that makes it harder than it needs to be to cook food, especially with hearths
