Coke Oven

The Coke Oven is a 3x3x3 brick structure, hollow in the middle, for converting Coal into Coal Coke or Wood into Charcoal and producing Creosote Oil as a byproduct. The Oven is built out of 26 special bricks made from Brick and Sand. If broken down, it takes 104 Clay and 130 Sand to build one Coke Oven. When building a Coke Oven, you will know the Oven is complete when the window appears in the middle block on the sides. They cannot be built adjacent to each other, there must be at least one tile in between ovens.

Converting Coal into Coke is a slow process, it takes three minutes to convert one piece of Coal into Coke. You will probably want to build several Ovens if you plan to make a lot rails.

The Oven can be loaded and unloaded via Loaders or Buildcraft pipes. The entire 3x3 Oven is treated as a single block, similar to a Furnace. Coal or Wood is loaded into the top, Coke or Charcoal is unloaded from the sides, Creosote Oil out of the bottom.

It is highly recommended that you do not use Coke Oven Brick for decorative purposes. Incomplete Ovens periodically check if they form a valid Oven, in mass quantities this could lead to performance degradation.
