Charcoal can be burned in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Solid Fuel Generator|Solid Fuel Generator]] to produce power. But it does not behave like regular Coal does <ref>Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stationeers/comments/wrshsn/how_to_burn_charcoal_with_100_efficiency_in_a/</ref>. | Charcoal can be burned in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Solid Fuel Generator|Solid Fuel Generator]] to produce power.

Only ~33% of the available power is obtained. |

A Stacker controlled by an IC can be used to release the Charcoal one by one every 8 game-ticks, this is enough time for each Charcoal to always burn to completion. | With a little bit of automation it's possible to release 100% of the energy from a stack of Charcoal.
