Furnace explodes when cooking even a single piece of food. Is this intended behavior? If so, is there a way to turn it off or make it much less likely?

I am trying this mod for the first time for a modpack and this is a show stopper in early game.

Hello, @scottosx!
This is surely not intended. I've added a furnace explosion just to test the furnace pollution behavior and unfortunately forgot to remove it.
The bug will be fixed at the nearest time!

Fixed, wait for the mod upload.

Thanks for the quick fix! I didn't think it was as intended. Still, the mechanic is interesting and I can see that it could be a consequence of very high pollution levels. Are you looking at something like that? It would need to be configurable of course.
