I don’t know specifically about fire but I think the square-cube law plays a significant factor in the idea that alien life would be similar in scale to humans.
But maybe you wouldn’t need as much fire cause bigger animals tend to hold heat better?
I thought the same thing. Then again, fire is not only needed for heat, but also for cooking food and creating new materials (metallurgy essentially). But surely a large creature could just make fires the same size as humans do if they needed to do those things? But perhaps it’d be impractical to cook food at a tiny fire hehe
Smaller I suppose, but larger? Why not? Wouldn’t you just have a really large fire?

Bigger fires burn out quicker cause they burn hotter.

Curious what the actual research reasoning would be.
