>but my lord wood does not burn as hot as coal we cannot use the forest to feed the fires the furnaces wouldnt burn hot enough for iron production
>>217783459they're uh, magic trees
>>217783459What about charcoal?
>>217783595>then make charcoal
>>217783595>>217783617Charcoal burns at a lower temperature than coal. You can forge steel with it, but it's harder.
>>217783776Bellows, bitch
>>217783776>my lord we will need to redesign the furnaces to make up for the lower burning temperature of charcoal
>>217783459>but my lord, it takes 8 hours to cremate a body, and none of our furnaces have chimneys!
>>217783810Now I want a shoop of Saruman envisioning an automated minecraft furnace.
>>217783945And one of his Uruk-hai recipe.
>>217783595>>217783776>Wood was the industrial fuel that provided the energy for smelting iron in Virginia, until after the Civil War. The heat energy in the wood was concentrated by converting it to charcoal, before it was added to the furnace along with iron ore and limestone.
>imagining Saruman getting increasingly more frustrated as he realizes he knows jack fucking shit about industrial grade mass weapons production and the orc engineers just keep telling him it can't be done
>>217784300>my lord we need to source some limestone to make these charcoal burning furnaces to work
>>217784300>What is this Virginia, my lord? Who was fighting this Civil War?
They’re not trees dipshit their ents
>>217784344Lime? I believe some grows in the garden
>>217783459You people are too retarded for kino. Stop looking for holes in LOTR just because you're too stupid to get it. Just go watch Avatar or the MCU or something else more on your level.
>>217784340>He has to call in Evil from Time Bandits as a technical advisor.
Worst decision was to remove The Scouring of the Shire chapter.
>>217784408huorns actually
>>217783810Nu-uh. If they never had coal in the first place they wouldn't need to retrofit their furnaces to handle charcoal.
