View the Smoker item pageGetting Smoker in practice
A smoker is a furnace and four logs, and it cooks food in half the time of a normal furnace while ignoring everything that is not food. In practice that means every base with animals ends up with one, and the fuel saving over a long farming session is what makes it worth the four logs.
What to watch out for with Smoker
A smoker is a furnace and four logs, and it cooks food twice as fast as a furnace does. Since it refuses ore entirely, it never gets clogged by a mining trip, which is why a kitchen with a smoker and a mine with a blast furnace is the standard layout in most bases.
