-As of T5, we can once again use bonfires to create charcoal.  However, the payoff 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.

+This building becomes available with [[Controlled Burn]] technology, as mentioned in System channel:
 Not true, can build bonfires allready and only vigil is currently open. I'm guessing its from either worship init, basic charcoal production or controlled burn. it's NOT from ritual item construction as I asked around a bit and some people that dont have that skill can still make the bonfire.

+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.

 It may be possible to increase the efficiency of bonfires for charcoal production by adding wood and/or water, as was the case in T2.  However, the bonfire recipes from T2 do not seem to apply to our contemporary bonfires.
