Coal
The smelting fuel in valheim. How to make Coal (Charcoal) and its uses.

- Source
- Charcoal Kiln, burnt food, Surtlings
- Used for
- Smelter & Blast Furnace fuel
Coal is the universal fuel for the Smelter and Blast Furnace, and there is no separate "charcoal" item: the Charcoal Kiln simply converts Wood, Fine Wood, or Core Wood into Coal at one per piece. You also get Coal by overcooking meat on a Cooking Station, killing Surtlings, and looting chests. Keep a kiln running near your smelters so metal never sits unsmelted.
