You can only kindle a bonfire when you are Un-Hallowed (Human), you need Humanity to become human and then to kindle the bonfire. It basically gives you 10 Estus Flasks instead of 5, so it’s really helpful to do it, but coming across Humanity is rare. I’d suggest try to kindle at every bonfire you come across, providing you have enough Humanity in the inventory.
