It is more efficient to use Common Planks or Charcoals as fuel than logs, but they require more time to process.
Primary processing by putting a Common Log through a Woodworking Bench to Common Planks adds 50% extra 'value' to the original burn time per log
Secondary processing by putting a Common Planks through a Campfire to create 2 Charcoal s but requires 4 minutes of burn time - the net gain is therefore reduced. Where a Common Log burns 79 seconds for example in the Melting Furnace, the Charcoal produced by the log will burn for a total of 640 seconds but the processing requires 240 seconds of burning time. The overall net burning time gain is 400 seconds. The ratio is slightly less favourable in the Campfire.
Each Common Log fully processed in this way therefore means each log's 'value' can be multiplied by processing, to be burn around 5 times as long compared with the original log.

New type of fuel added in Beta v.1.18.3
