Charcoal Blocks can sustain a permanent fire, similar to Netherack or coal ore, when lit with a flint and steel. They can also be placed in furnaces, blast furnaces or smokers to power them. They are equal to 10 coal or charcoal (800 seconds - up to 800 items per block) - the same as [coal blocks](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Block_of_Coal).
