I've had good results with enclosing them in half height walls. Cooking & fueling still works, and neither me nor my livestock walk into the flames.

If that's the case why not let enemies and npc deal the dammage when they walk over them? why do us players have to suffer an inconvenience because of something as niche as using fires to deal dmg to bosses, like what, it just needlessly restricts how you can build with them, i like making them a part of the floor so it goes flush with the flooring and looks nice, but now i need a repair bench nearby to keep repearing it each time i decide to get a little closer to pick up my food
