Currently when the smoker is attached to a furnace engine and a flywheel it spins at 16 RPM, the same as the furnace. The blast furnace however spins it at 32 RPM.

I suggest that the smoker is changed to also spin at 32 RPM to match the blast furnace.

I sugges this because the smoker is much more similar to the blast furnace than regular furnace. Both the smoker and blast furnace consume fuel at twice the rate of the furnace, both cook twice as fast, and both require the furnace to craft them.

The only issue I can see with this is that it the items you cook in a smoker are much easier to automate the production of, but I would argue that the fuel is the major difficulty in running either the smoker or blast furnace continuously.

This issue has been marked as stale because it has been inactive for 3 weeks. It will be closed if it remains inactive for another 3 weeks.

This issue has been closed since it has been inactive for 3 weeks since it was marked as stale.

Disagree - the fuel for all of them is easy to automate as you simply need to hook up a tree farm or bamboo farm for infinite fuel. Smelting items for the blast furnace are only ore blocks or armors, both of which require significant set up work to fully automate.

Smelting for the smoker is far easier in comparison - simply hook up a potato farm.

Smokers limit what you can put in greatly, so a speed increase would be fair. However, you are correct in saying it's easy to set something automatic up, so perhaps just speed it up to 24rpm?
