'''Charcoal''' is a form of [[fuel]], used to power the various [[furnace]]s and the [[metalsmith's forge]]. It can also be used as a source of carbon in the production of [[steel]]. To make one [[bar]] of charcoal you must burn one piece of [[wood]] at a [[wood furnace]].

Charcoal can be used interchangeably with [[coke]], but you should use coke instead of charcoal to preserve your wood supplies. Using [[magma]] furnaces will preserve both coke and charcoal. However, to begin the production of metal in your fortress, you will need at least one bar of charcoal to begin coke production. If you wish to make a [[magma smelter]], you will need five bars of charcoal or coke to produce your first bar of steel.

The only difference between charcoal and coke, besides their names and means of acquisition, is that [[Elf|Elven]] traders will be offended by charcoal but not by coke.
