The post states that Charcoal is the cheapest furnace fuel, but I assume that using scaffolds are chesper, less EMC. Let's count!

24(planks)+12(sticks)=36

36/16=2,25(EMC per scaffold)

Scaffold provides 1.5 smelts so 2.25*2/3=1,5

Using charcoal is 4 EMC per smelt, using Scaffolds are 1,5 EMC per smelt, 2 and 2/3 times the charcoal efficency.
