Cost = ore price + fuel ($15 per smelt with Coal Block, the cheapest fuel now). A blast furnace smelts 720 ores an hour; "Per blast furnace a day" is one running 24 h. "Ore sold / hour": how fast the ore itself gets delivered into buy orders – how much you can realistically buy; past that, more furnaces sit idle.
Calculated from DonutSMP /orders prices, last updated 2026-11-07 23:30 UTC. Price = the best buy order that still wants 10 or more. Demand = how many are still wanted at 85% of that price or more.
