A '''Magma smelter''' is a special variation of the basic [[smelter]] that uses [[magma]] as a source of heat, instead of [[fuel]].  Like all magma-powered buildings, it is not visible under the Build menu until your dwarves discover a source of magma.
 
 
 
To function, magma smelters must be built with at least one of the eight edge tiles occupying an open space with at least 4/7 magma on the next floor down. This magma can be natural, or channeled from a larger source, or otherwise [[Magma#Bringing magma up|transported from another level]] to a trench designed to hold the magma.
 
 
 
If the only opening to the magma is under the [[impassable tile]] of the smelter, then magma creatures won't be able to enter the workshop area through the opening; otherwise they can.
 
 
 
Magma smelters do not consume any magma from their magma source - you can use a single tile of 4/7 (or deeper) magma below the smelter as an infinite heat source.
 
 
 
Note that both [[pig iron]] and [[steel]] production still require "[[fuel]]" as a part of the recipe, as a source of carbon for the reaction.
