Alternatives are to bring one bar of charcoal or coke with the expedition at embark, trade for one from caravans, or go straight to magma smelters. Smelting an ore gives 4 bars of metal, and refining fuel gives 9 bars of coke from bituminous coal or 5 bars from lignite. Since smelting coke requires fuel in a conventional (non-magma) smelter, usually one wood is burned in a wood furnace, to create one charcoal to start the process. Smelting requires the ore (or coal) to be processed, a smelter, either fuel or (for magma smelters) magma at least 4/7 deep, and a dwarf with the furnace operator labor enabled. Training in the skill is not necessarily required - since bars have no quality the only difference is the time the job takes. Smelting requires the ore (or coal) to be processed, a smelter, either fuel or (for magma smelters) magma at least 4/7 deep, and a dwarf with the furnace operator labor enabled. Fuel is required to operate a smelter, metalsmith's forge, kiln, or glass furnace, but not their magma-powered equivalents. Smelting also refines bituminous coal or lignite into coke, a fuel which is equivalent to charcoal, but first needs fuel to do this. Metal bars produced at a smelter are usable in a wide variety of goods, from weapons, to goblets, to furniture, to buildings. Smelting is similar but distinct from melting, which reclaims existing metal objects back into (fractional) bars. You can use them as regular blocks, although they are not fire-safe.Smelting is the act of refining raw stone ore(s) into useful bars of pure metal(s) or alloys.
