Charcoal Pile Igniter: Difference between revisions

The Charcoal Pile Igniter is a method of producing charcoal faster and more efficiently than a coke oven, but without the ease of automation and creosote that a coke oven provides. It converts each log into brittle charcoal blocks which, when broken by an axe, drops 1-2 charcoal. It does require pigwrought iron and steel to craft, and so is gated behind a basic steam setup as well as a bricked blast furnace.

The charcoal pit multiblockmulti-block consists of a square floor of bricks, from 3x3 to 11x11. The shape can be a rectangle, as long as it fits within an 11x11 square. Above the bricks, place up to 5 layers of logs you wish to turn into brittle charcoal, thenblocks. placeCover all faces of the charcoallogs, pileexcept igniterfor one on top, ofwith thedirt centeror ofgrass. yourThen logplace the charcoal pile.
