| − | Any dwarf with the [[wood burner]] [[labor]] enabled can burn a single log in order to produce either [[ash]] or [[charcoal]]. While it's hardly efficient, charcoal serves as the most ubiquitous form of [[fuel]] available to run a [[metal industry]] on. Ash sees use in multiple industries, such as [[glazing]] [[earthenware]] items, advanced [[glassmaking]], [[farm plot|crop fertilization]], and [[soap]] production. | + | Any dwarf with the [[wood burner]] [[labor]] enabled can burn a single log in order to produce either [[ash]] or [[charcoal]].

| − | Wood furnaces can be built from any [[fire-safe]] material. The overall value of the wood furnace building helps determine the strength of the good thought dwarves receive when admiring it. This value is determined by both the value of the material used in its construction, as well as the quality of the builder's efforts. | + | Wood furnaces can be built from any [[fire-safe]] material. Once you designate a spot for your wood furnace to be built, a [[building designer]] will bring the material to the site and design the building before the actual [[mason]] (for stone or glass furnaces) or [[Metalsmith#Metalsmith_profession|metalworker]] (for metal furnaces) comes along and builds it. Strangely enough, [[charcoal]] and [[coke]] are valid mason's materials for building a wood furnace, since their ignition point is above the cutoff for fire safety. |

Including a wood furnace can be extremely useful here, allowing you to turn logs into fuel much more cheaply than bringing coke, while bars of ash are inexplicably magma-safe building "materials." |
