This self refueling charcoal-refinery takes logs as inputs and produces charcoal as an output. The theoretical maximum with this setup are 15750 charcoal per hour, but it doesn't run at full efficiency due to inconsistencies with the loading of the minecarts.

Applications

---

By hooking this up to a azaelia tree farm this setup can easily fuel a decent super-smelter without any player interaction (Assuming you can produce enough wood). This aims at rivaling bamboo as the primary fuel source for super smelters.

Functionality

---

The minecarts distribute the logs over the furnaces every 5.4 seconds (best is 5.0). These items get then backfilled into the furnaces. Any charcoal that is left over gets pushed to the output, if all furnaces are filled up.

With this module 25 furnaces per array is the theoretical maximum, because after that the new bottleneck is hopper speed.
