Initial experiments with stoking indicate that it does NOT increase charcoal yield.  In fact, it seems that the starting amount of wood determines the output regardless of amount of stoking.  So if you start a 20 wood fire and stoke with 2 wood fifty times, you still get 2 cc and are throwing 100 wood away.

Overview

A Bonfire is a pile of wood in the form of a building. Wood can be removed from, and added to, the bonfire at any time; the pile will remain as long as some wood is left. The size of the bonfire varies depending on how much wood is in the pile.

Bonfires may be lit, which eventually consumes all of the wood and leaves behind a quantity of charcoal. This is a highly inefficient, if entertaining, method of charcoal production. Lit bonfires figure prominently in the Festival of Ra.

This building becomes available with Controlled Burn technology.

Cost

Built Outside.


Use

Bonfires are commonly left unlit and used for wood storage. As their size is dependent on how much wood is in them, it's advisable to put them in an area where they can grow.

Lit bonfires consume wood at an accelerating rate, until the wood level reaches zero; the fire dies shortly afterwards. As the flame burns, you can add water to the bonfire to slow the rate of consumption; this helps the fire last longer, but doesn't seem to affect charcoal production.

You can tear down a bonfire while it is burning. This extinguishes the fire, and you will recover all of the wood that had not been burned yet. You will receive no charcoal for any wood that had been consumed.


Charcoal

The payoff for charcoal from bonfires seems to be extremely limited. It appears yield is based on a very simple formula of #wood/10 = #cc, with any remainder dropped. So, 10 wood will produce 1 cc, as will 11, 12, ... 19. 20-29 will produce 2 cc. And so on.

Here are some observed yields:

# wood cc yield
7 0
10 1
14 1
20 2
30 3
35 3
42 4
49 4
56 5
63 6
100 10
250 25
