'''Pig iron''' bars can be created at a [[smelter]] by a dwarf with the [[Furnace_operator|furnace operating]] labor activated.

The recipe for pig iron is: one [[iron]] [[bar]], one [[flux]] material, and one unit of [[fuel]] will create one pig iron bar. Note that the fuel is part of the reaction as a source of carbon - even when using a [[magma smelter]] you will need one unit of fuel, and for a normal smelter you will need two, with the second unit being used to ''fuel'' the smelter. The flux material must be a [[stone]], not a block, and the fuel must be coke or charcoal, not wood.

Pig iron is mainly used as a component in the manufacture of [[steel]] but can also be used for buildings and constructions that allow bars and have no restrictions on what type of [[bar]]s to use; however, it cannot be used to make any other products. It is possible to [[decoration|stud]] other objects with pig iron, although the option isn't available at the forge, and instead needs to be ordered by the [[manager]].
