This article is about an older version of DF.

The lifeblood of a fortress, a smelter is used to smelt ores with fuel or for melting existing metal objects into metal bars. The smelter is also where lignite and bituminous coal are coked into coke. A dwarf must have the "Furnace Operator" labor enabled to use the smelter.

If all options in a smelter are red, fuel is needed - find/buy coke or turn wood into charcoal at a wood furnace.
