A smelter is a type of furnace used to process ore into more useful bars, in a process called smelting. Smelting requires fuel (charcoal or coke). A smelter requires one rock or block to build. The Smelter is also the place where dwarves take items to be melted back into bars.

There is also a magma version of this building, which is built over magma. It requires one magma-proof rock or block to build. It does not require charcoal or coke as fuel, although the process of making pig iron or steel will still need one unit of charcoal or coke per reaction, as a reagent.
