::: I've been able to burn nether cap logs in a wood furnace with no issues, so unless this was changed in 34, furnaces do not take fixed temperature into account. -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 19:01, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

:::: Good to know, but I was wondering more about Nether Cap coming in actual contact with fire. As far as I know, the game could be only checking for some kind of [WOOD] tag in order to turn it to ash/charcoal. After all, charcoal is not supposed to be fire-safe, yet you can build furnaces out of it (I have, and they work!). Kinda wonky, if you ask me. --[[User:Seikatsukan|Seikatsukan]] 21:26, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

::::: The "fire-safe" check for job items is based entirely on the material's temperature properties, nothing else. The fact that charcoal claims to be fire-safe is technically due to a bug (which I reported several months ago and have now added to this article). Unless the job cancel messages for "Make Charcoal" and "Make Ash" actually say "Needs wood/plant logs", '''any''' type of log will do, even one made of metal - the output of those jobs is 100% hardcoded and has nothing to do with the input item. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:06, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 
  
 
"Except for dragonfire, fire won't burn rock, metal, trees, unmined lignite or coal, constructions made from wood (wall, floor, etc)."  ... i think the crux of the issue is that this sentence from the fire page is missing here.
