== EU per Operation ==
We know that the regular Furnace takes 200 Heat Units per operation and the Iron Furnace takes 160 Heat Units per operation, so we need to list how many EU it takes per operation. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 08:02, 1 January 2012 (CET)
:The electric furnace uses 700 EUs from a RE-battery per operation. -- ?
: This can't be right because I can smelt 13 items per piece of coal placed in a Generator connected to an Electro Furnace. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 07:50, 7 January 2012 (CET)

Kempior how did you do your testing? --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 14:16, 9 April 2012 (CEST)

First I used batbox to mesaure the storage of furnance but because one time it drains 416EU per smelting other 384EU I realized that EU/operation must be between it so I used EU-reader to mesaure how much energy it use to process 1 item and got 390EU. Kempior

†Other Wood Items = Any '''block''' with its material set to "Wood" (includes blocks added by other mods if material defined properly). Includes all other items that can be burned in a regular Furnace, see {{mp|Smelting}} for a complete list. 
‡Assuming the smelting of 2 items simultaneously, divide by 2 if you are only smelting one item. For values < 2 keep in mind that you will actually have 2 partially finished units.

Electro Furnace

Kempior: My results showed 390EU/operation and 416EU storage.

The Electro Furnace is an improved and more costly version of the [[Iron Furnace]].

The benefits of this device compared to the Iron Furnace are that the Electric Furnace is 12.5% faster and, as the name indicates, uses electricity. By running on electricity instead of burning items, it is able to shut off immediately upon finishing (and thus avoid wasting energy). You can best take advantage of this by having some form of energy storage between the Electro Furnace and the generator(s).

The Electro Furnace uses approximately 390 EU per operation. When connected to a Generator, one piece of (char)coal will provide 10 operations. An Iron Furnace, in comparison, uses 400 EUs per operation (Coal has an EU yield of 4000 in a [[Generator]] and provides 10 operations in an Iron Furnace) and it doesn't stop when there is nothing left to smelt. Additionally, an Electro Furnace can be powered by alternative sources such as [[Solar Panel]]s.

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Electronic Circuit
|A2=Redstone|B2=Iron Furnace|C2=Redstone
|Output=Electro Furnace
}}

== Usage ==

Simply add something to smelt in the top slot and supply the Electric Furnace with [[EU]].
*The lower slot is used to provide power from a [[RE Battery]] or other energy storage item if a direct [[Cable]] connection is not available.

{{Energy|Input=390 (3 EU/t)|Output=-|Storage=416}}
Each operation costs 390 EU. 
Maximum input: 32 [[EU]]/t before exploding

== Trivia ==

The Electro Furnace can accept [[overclocker upgrade]]s, meaning that it can potentially smelt items faster than its advanced counterpart, the [[Induction_Furnace]]. While an Electro Furnace with a large number of overclockers can smelt items much faster (about 20 items per second max) without drawing energy when inactive, it can only process one stack at time, making it horrendously energy-inefficient in comparison.
