Summary
I built a smoker a while ago, it worked fine, absolutely loved it. I went on a long trip to a faraway island, spent a few days on that island, then returned to base. I lost my way to the base, so I died to rewind back to the island I was just on. I found my way back home, and when I went to smoke my meat, it said “Cooked meat” instead of “Smoked meat”. Now my meat decays faster than I can eat it. I have tried building another one, but it still cooks it instead of smoking it.
This is my first save, so I haven’t encountered this problem on other saves. This is not modded, completely vanilla.

Settings
Same settings as always, I might’ve turned the graphics up to Epic at one point, but I do believe that was before leaving my home island and the smoker smoked. I have not installed or modified any islands. Brand new game and save. First time playing.
Steps
No apparent steps that I can think of, other than unloading the island with the smoker and returning some time later.
Extras
-Have you tried reloading your save, game or PC?
Yup, I have tried reloading my save, nothing changed. EDIT: RESTARTING PC FIXED IT.
-Have tried reinstalling the game?
Nope, I didn’t think it was that big of an issue to do this.
-Is there anything else you tried to alleviate the issue? Please let us know whether it was successful or not.
Nothing, constructing another smoker doesn’t work either. Both smokers just cook food now.
EDIT: RESTARTING PC FIXED IT. It could still happen, but an easy fix is just restarting your pc.
