The Iron Furnace is 20% faster and 25% more fuel efficient than a Furnace. For example, it can smelt 10 items per piece of (Char)Coal compared to only 8 in a regular Furnace and it takes 8 seconds instead of 10 to perform the operation.

Two possible recipes are available. Using a stone furnace reduces the cost by 3 Iron.

Usage

Energy Values

Each operation costs 160 units of heat at a speed of 20 units per second, resulting in 8 seconds per smelting operation.

†Other Wood Items = Any block with its material set to "Wood" (includes blocks added by other mods if material defined properly). See Smelting for a complete list of items that can be smelted in a Stone Furnace.
‡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.
††All lava containers (e.g. Lava Cells, Lava Cans from Forestry) can be used in Iron Furnaces and Generators from 1.113 onwards.
‡‡All lava containers are worth 10% of their value (2000) inside Iron Furnaces and Generators.
†††Considering as using a Geothermal Generator. Divide by 10 if using a normal Generator instead.
