you can also build one bonfire on the top of your house/construction. That makes a great landmark in the night and you can get the rest bonus if you sleep under

My first house is typically on top of a rock with part of the rock stick through the floor. Makes it nice so you can cook indoors as well.

All my fireplaces have always been indoors and I have never built on top of rock.

Well being a couple of meters off the ground is good defense as well. Same house as above.

Just leave out a floor tile to put one down on the ground?

Can build one in any lil' starter house.. just leave one floor tile open, and build it on the ground there (can even stick the floor tile under it after you get it going ;) ) - Like said elsewhere, make sure the smoke has somewhere to go though

You can build a fire in a totally enclosed room (such as under the Elder altar stone) by creating a smoke chamber over the fire. Needs to run a few tiles long but can be sealed and will contain the smoke.

Yes, but the standard fire needs to be built on ground (not on wood tiles), later game stone fire place can be placed on floors. But also keep in mind you need a kind of chimney to let the smoke get out.

Thanks for clearing that up

Bonfires are huge enough to keep on burning in the rain... everywhere

Nope. But they will continue to burn in the rain and provide the fire comfort bonus if you are sheltered near one.
