They can also be placed in furnaces, blast furnaces or smokers to power them. They are equal to coal or charcoal (80 seconds - up to 8 items per unit) but 1/10th as long-lasting as coal or charcoal blocks (800 seconds - up to 80 items per block). However, all materials used to craft fuel blocks are nearly infinite and easily found or produced, as well as often being considered a waste or limited use resource, so represent a relatively cheap and easy alternative to coal for smelting. ![fuel.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/fuel.png) --- #### **Data Values**
