A Furnace converts ore to metal, consuming fuel.

There are two main types of furnace:

Charcoal-fired furnaces with relatively short firing times
large Petroleum-fired furnaces with much longer firing times but greater efficiency.
Both produce Clinker if your Stonework level is 3 or higher, otherwise produces Strange Slag

The most time and resource-efficient CC furnace is the Gyration Cell.

Furnace	Fuel Type	Max Ore	Fuel Req	Typical Ore:Metal	Typical Fuel:Metal	Fire Time	Typical Metal/Hour	Notes
Bullet Furnace	Charcoal	200	5	100:1	2.5:1	5 minutes		FaF 188 ore + 4 charcoal = 2 metal
Compression Furnace	Charcoal	500	20	33.33:1	1.33:1	20 minutes	45/hour	Pollution effects unclear
Ore Inferno Furnace	Coal	250	400			20 minutes		247 ore + 400 Coal = 37 metal. Placement requires nearby water.
Blast Furnace	Charcoal	1000	10	17:1	0.17:1	10 minutes?	324/hour FaF	FaF 991 ore + 9 cc = 54 metal
Gyration Cell	Charcoal	1500	50	10:1	0.33:1	15 minutes	600/hour	Low pollution, currently the best CC furnace
Fleet Furnace	Charcoal	-	20	-	-	24 hours	-	Only makes Quicksilver
Persephone Furnace	Petroleum	20000	1-1000	8:1	0.035:1	typ. 4+ days	26/hour	Causes heavy metal pollution in a 64 coordinate radius when opened
Hades Furnace	Petroleum	20000	1-1000	6:1	0.06:1	typ. 4+ days	2k metal first 24 hrs	Seems to lower pH nearby when opened, other effects unknown
