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 , [[BatBox]] , [[MFE]] or [[MFSU]] . '''NOTE:''' To use the Electric Furnace with a [[MFE]] or [[MFSU]] , you MUST use a transformer or you will make the Electric Furnace EXPLODE.

== 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.
* To carry items to the furnace using BuildCraft pipes, you must have the pipe feeding into the top of the furnace.

== Trivia ==
 
The Electric Furnace can accept [[overclocker upgrade|overclocker upgrades]], 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.
 
== HAYO ==
 
Now, we got [[Iron Furnace]]s. And we got Redstone dust that for no apparent reason powers circuits indefinitely.
 
What do you think we would make of this? Cake? No!
 
We've created a completely new Furnace for you, THE ELECTRIC FURNACE.
 
As everyone knows, burning things to smelt stuff is reaaaaally old-school. It's like using a Commodore 64. And who's using one right now? Noone, right!
 
An electrically powered device has 3 important advantages.
 
First of all, without the wasteful burning of random stuff, much less energy is wasted during operation, meaning we could improve the smelting time of our all-beloved Iron Furnace by a further 12.5%!
Now, that alone would be a reason to instantly upgrade to Electric Furnaces, wouldn't it?
 
BUT IT COMES EVEN BETTER!
 
Instead of causing massive pollution and shamefully wasting resources, Electric Furnaces are powered by, duh, ELECTRIC ENERGY! This energy is brought to you in form of our ueber-l33t T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit. Or, for short: [[RE Battery]].
These little thingies can store quite high amounts of energy and will power Electric Furnaces for a long, long time.
 
But what happens if you just want to smelt 5 pieces of iron ore, wouldn't such an ueber-powerful battery be a waste?
FRIKKIN' NO! Because the third advantage of the Electric Furnace is, it will not waste any energy if it isn't currently smelting something.
You can just charge it up with a battery and then smelt whatever you want, whenever you want.
 
Deal? Deal! HAYO!
