Crossword Genius

Record one's put on the fire (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

log

I believe this is a double definition.

'record' is the first definition.
(logging is a kind of recording)

'one's put on the fire' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for log that I've seen before include "Piece of wood - record" , "A ship or plane's diary" , "Record on ship" , "Listing" , "number in mathematical table" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
