Am I the only one who has put fuel IN the INPUT chest? It automatically uses fuel from the input chest. So in the past, I placed 9 lava buckets (the whole top row) so i didn't have to fuel it.
Even using normal furnaces, 1 lava bucket is 16.66 Minutes vs 64 blaze rods is 128 Minutes.
Code:
Lava Bucket = 1000 seconds of burn time (16.66 Minutes) So 9 of them is 9000 seconds of burn time = 150 Minutes (2 hours 40 minutes) However that eats up 1/6th (16.66%) of the input chest space. Blaze Rod = 120 seconds of burn time (2 Minutes) A STACK of them (64) = 128 Minutes of burn time (2 hours 8 Minutes) And only uses 1/54th (1.8%) of the input chest space.
Even using normal furnaces, 1 lava bucket is 16.66 Minutes vs 64 blaze rods is 128 Minutes.
