Coal Coke-{suggestion-ish}

The blast furnace does not accept Coal Coke from Immersive Engineering. IE 1.7 Railcraft 9.8.0.0
The ability to add new fuels to the Blast Furnace was intentionally left out of the API. It's intended to be rather particular.
Understandable that you would want it balanced against your mod.
Other mods also add gated fuels. Would it be possible to add an imc ability for those mod authors to add their fuels also to your blast furnace, would you be willing to add them as a compatible option, or are both of those out of the question?
I know that their have been a rash of issues both here and over at IE about their coal coke not working, but other mods also add a refined version of coal.
Describe how it is made, how long it takes (approx), it's fuel value in a furnace if applicable and any others details that could be relevant. We'll need to know how it compares to Railcraft coal coke before deciding whether it should be added or not.
You see the entire reason why I wanted to use your blast furnace for steel was due to IE making so many frustrating changes. Their "Improved" blast furnace didn't work whatsoever when I tried using it last time, Ill need to test it again but I don't think it will work still. I was thinking about adding mekanism since it makes steel crafting so much easier but I didn't want to add it since I had railcraft. Although I deleted that world soooo, If you want you can delete this issue unless @bookerthegeek wants to continue it. I essentially wanted this as a "quality of life" change but it isn't necessary anymore.
The IE coal coke shares the same production method as the RC coal coke as well as the same burn time.
both are created bu burning coal in a coke oven, an both will cook 16 items when used in a vanilla furnace.
@vagaprime production time?
If the production time is 50% less, then no, I will not be adding as a Blast Furnace fuel for sure.
Bookerthegeek is wrong about the time. Both IE and RC will turn coal into coal coke in 1800 ticks.
have the latest release of both IE and RC in the dev build for my pack and NEI shows a total time of 1800 ticks for both coke ovens to turn coal into coal coke.
Well then, I'm not exactly sure the best way to add support, but since they do appear to be truly identical I have no problem with it being added.
Might I suggest talking to blu about adding an ore dic for coal coke that both RC and IE could use?
