A Magma smelter is a special variation of the basic smelter that uses magma as a source of heat, instead of fuel.

To function, magma smelters must be built with at least one of the eight edge tiles occupying an open space with at least 4/7 magma on the next floor down. This magma can be natural, or channeled from a larger source, or otherwise transported from another level to a trench designed to hold the magma.

There is no longer an impassable tile of the smelter. Dwarfs must be creative in stopping magma creatures from entering the workshop area through the opening. There are no known ways of stopping magma creatures from entering the workshop area.

Magma smelters do not consume any magma from their magma source - you can use a single tile of 4/7 (or deeper) magma below the smelter as an infinite heat source.

Note that both pig iron and steel production still require "fuel" as a part of the recipe, as a source of carbon for the reaction.
