-*You can get Nether Brick by compressing Netherrack in aCompressor and in Minecraft 1.5, you can get Nether Bricks by smelting Netherrack into Nether Brick, four of which can be crafted into a 'Nether Bricks', as if Netherrack were clay.

Two Blast Furnace Bricks will be left over after constructing the furnace. When building a Blast Furnace, you will know it is complete when a window appears in the bottom middle block on the sides. Blast Furnaces cannot be built directly adjacent to each other - there must be a gap of at least one block between them.

The Blast Furnace accepts only two types of fuel: Charcoal or Coal Coke. It will take 2 minutes and 8 seconds and will consume two pieces of Coal Coke or four pieces of Charcoal to convert one Iron Ingot into a Steel Ingot. The same amount applies to aluminum.

While the Blast Furnace is active, the center will contain lava, which can spill out if the furnace is broken.

The furnace can be loaded and unloaded automatically like other machines. The entire furnace is treated as a single block, similar to a large vanilla furnace. It will accept Coal Coke, Charcoal, and Iron from any side and will output Steel only from the sides.  When using Redpower tubes, the bottom is for adding fuel (charcoal, etc.), the top is for input (aluminum dust, etc.), and the sides are for extracting the furnace output.
