I am posting this with permission from baakor. the coal count is on confer with another player and is still unknown on total count without a problem with the blast running. i know from experience if it is over loaded it won't work properly.

How to solo the Blast Furnace
By: welmby

The general definition of the Blast furnace is a good place to make higher end bars like steel, mithril, adamant and runite with half the coal as you would normally use while still being able to do up the low end ores without the headache. I prefer to do it alone because i need the exp in all aspects of the furnace and i just find it faster to do. The good thing is that if you do team what ever ores you put in the belt and into the blast are yours and no one else can take them. (note: i do beleive you are the only one that can do them up as well)

Requirements: Start The Giant Dwarf Quest, 30 Crafting, 30 Agility, 30 Fire making, 30 Strength, and 60 Smithing to use anvils. If you're unsure if you have the proper requirements, talk to the Dwarf Foreman there.

You can make bronze, iron, steel, mithril, adamant and runeite for half the cost of coal than the regular furnace, as well as silver and gold.

The cost to buy the ores without selling your own first is:

Tin = 4
Copper = 4
Iron = 25
Coal = 156
Mithril = 243
Silver = 112
Gold = 225

Now, I find a quiet world and I take all my ores with me in notes, MOST of my available cash, nature runes and a Staff of Fire. This should take 4 slots. Once you're in the furnace, pick up a hammer, 2 spades and the bucket, leaving you 20 slots for bars. adding spades as you run out of coal.

After a long thought and conferring with several Blast Furnace users, we believe that the blast can hold 240 pieces of coal without any problems. Any more and you'll have to wait for a while for it to work properly.

Now, my personal preference right now is Steel Plate Bodies, so load the coal in up to about 200 of the 240 mark, then do iron in the chunks of 20 that i mentioned earlier. IF my calculations are correct you get a break down of approximatly 300 per nat (if you bought) 150 for cheap ores at 1200 per plate body, making a 700 profit to you.

Once the ores are on the convator belt, you peddle. The hammer is used to fix the drive belt if it slips here. Next check the pipes for leaks then load the 2 or 3 spades with coke and refuel the stove to 3 or 4 spots above red. now switch your view so you can see through the pipes and start pumping while watching for pipe leaks. Once you see a gold stream come from the bar dispenser fill a bucket with water and use on the dispenser. Now take your bars and smith them into plates and use High Level Alchemy as you go. Repeat until you're finished.

Hate to burst your bubble, but this post belongs in the temp guides forum found here.

No big deal a mod will move it, I'm pretty sure it won't get locked since we don't have a Blast Furnace guide.

Better than soloing is to get a team and do it.

world 60 was being promoted as the "official" world on rs forums. Not sure how well that is going, but I'll try and get there one of these days. and I'll be looking on 60 for assistance when I do.

Since we don't have a guide on Blast Furnace at all, I think it would be appreciated if you could add what a Blast Furnace does and so on... with pictures.

I've also edited your guide, because... someone needs to at some point.

Thanks for the guide but the least you could do is get my name right.
