The Electric 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 Electric 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 Electric Furnace can be powered by alternative sources such as [[Solar Panel]]s.

== 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.

== Trivia ==
 
The Electric Furnace can accept [[overclocker upgrade]]s, meaning that it can potentially smelt items faster than its advanced counterpart, the [[Induction_Furnace]].  While an Electric 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.
