Hello everybody. I am trying to create a charcoal "farm," using two chests, a furnace, two wooden pipes, two redstone torches, two redstone engines, cobblestone transport pipes and an iron pipe. Here's a picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/rrnl.png/. It will take wood (left chest) and charcoal (right chest) and put them in the furnace to create more charcoal. Some will be put back in the system and some I will use for other things. All I would have to do is add wood to the chest.
The problem is that I cannot get the wood and the charcoal to actually enter into the furnace from the back or sides. Is there a special furnace I need that will allow me to put things in them through pipes? Trying to put things in a regular furnace via pipes just makes the items fall onto the ground.
This is probably such a stupid question but I cannot seem to find the answer.
Thank you,
Leondreux
