A [[multiblock]] Coke Oven allows the creation of better fuel with a byproduct of Creosote Oil without the usage of power. Coke Ovens will not [[wallshare]] and cannot be built adjacent to each other. This is one of the first multiblock structures a player is likely to build, along with the [[Water Tank]] in [[Stone Age]].

A Coke Oven is a 3x3x3 hollow cube. The raw materials are x105 Clay & x175 Sand, which make x104 Coke Oven Brick (items) with one left over.
'''Requires:'''
* x26 Coke Oven Brick (block)
== Usage ==
You can use the
*Wood --> Charcoal
*Coal --> Coal Coke▼
*Cactus --> Cactus Coal --> Cactus Coke
*Sugar Cane --> Sugar Coal --> Sugar Coke
===Creosote===
▲Coal --> Coal Coke
Creosote is a byproduct of the [[Coke Oven]]. It can be loaded into metal buckets or Seared Tanks through the GUI or right-clicking on the Coke Oven itself. Creosote can be used to craft torches or burned in Furnaces, Iron Furnaces, [[Boiler Firebox]]es or [[Semi-Fluid Generator]]s for early game Steam power. In [[LV]] it's also used as a lubricant.<br>
List of usage cases for Creosote:
*Better torch recipe (1 Bucket Creosote + 1 Stick + 1 Wool = 5x Torches)
*Fuel for
*Distill into lubricant (not a very bad source of it, considering you will end up with A LOT of creosote oil)▼
*Crafting component in various Forestry Carpenter recipes. (Multi-block farms and Compartments)
<div align="You don't have to be LV to automate the voiding of creosote."> If you truly have an excess of creosote, you can automate the voiding using a faucet and a redstone clock to dispense the creosote into a Voiding Fluid Pipe from BC Transport. This setup allows for continuous disposal of creosote without manual interaction. The manual method involves breaking the bottom center block of the Coke Oven and then rebuilding the multi-block structure.</div>
== Caution ==▼
▲good furnace fuel (being able to smelt 32 items per bucket)
For all railcraft multiblocks, the fluid is saved on the center of the bottom layer of the multiblock (i.e. the coke oven bricks block on the middle of the bottom 3*3 layer). Breaking it or re-centering the broken multiblock using another brick as the center will '''void''' all the fluid contained within.
== Troubleshooting ==
▲decent fuel for your RC steam boilers (using buckets of creosote oil in the solid-fueled firebox seems to have a higher fuel efficiency than piping creosote oil into liquid-fueled firebox)
{|{{STDT|c_01}}
! Problems !! Cause
|-
|style="width: 20%"| Multiblock doesn't form || Structure is not correctly built. There cannot be anything but air in the center of the 3x3x3, and it cannot be touching any other Coke Oven. Check that both bottom and top layers are solid. Coke Ovens cannot wallshare.
|-
| Not running or stops || Outputs are full or inputs are missing. The Coke Oven will not run if its tank is full of Creosote. Break the bottom center block to void the internal tank. Supply with wood logs and empty Charcoal.
|}
== Automation ==
▲Fuel for combustion generator (the efficiency of it is kinda meh compared to other fuel source available in LV)
The image below shows a Basic automatic Coke Oven that will automatically pull items from the left storage that can be cooked in the coke oven and take out the resulting items and put them in the right storage. It also features a creosote oil drainer which must be activated by hand unless a Redstone clock is attached to the tinker's faucet.

▲== Caution ==
▲For all railcraft multiblocks, the fluid is saved on the center of the bottom layer of the multiblock (i.e. the coke oven bricks block on the middle of the bottom 3*3 layer). Breaking it or re-centering the broken multiblock using another brick as the center will '''void''' all the fluid contained within. (though if you find youtself unable to use all those creosote oil, it is backing up and you have nowhere to store it, then you can consider breaking that block to void all the excess creosote oil)
