Big Bonfire — Detailed Guide
The largest fire in Primitive Plus
Cooking 3 times as fast as a Standard Campfire, according to the ARK Wiki, the Big Bonfire is a fire structure from the Primitive Plus DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved. Its in-game description opens with the line "The biggest and safest fire you can make." It burns crude oil or some form of wood as fuel, and the wiki keeps a table of how long each fuel item lasts, for choosing the right fuel for the burn time you need.
Engram and materials
The engram is listed at level 28 and costs 5 engram points, and the wiki names the 
Campfire as its prerequisite. A bonfire takes 100 
Stone, 35 
Thatch and 25 
Flint, is ready in 5 seconds and gives 2.5 XP.
Weight, stacking and damage
Each bonfire weighs 4. Up to 3 fit in a stack, and a full stack weighs 12. It counts as a thatch structure, and the only attacks that cannot damage it are non-explosive ranged ones; everything else can.
