It is a piece of furniture found in the lair of certain types of night creatures.  Presumably, they use it to cook their meals, although I don't think the actual ability to do that is coded into the game.  I don't think it does anything in fortress mode, assuming you can even get one.

A human caravan showed up with two.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, building a wall out of rock nut oil soap requires carpentry for some reason.

I just got a couple of silver fails and a silve moringstar from the gobbos. I'm not really up on exotic weapons, any word on if they are good or melt-worthy?

Melt them down. A morningstar is just a mice, and I don't think a flail is much good either.

nvm

Does making charcoal from wood produce the same amount as from coal/lignite?

How can I modify this to prevent masterpiece spam?

Remove both A_D and D_D. IIRC A_D is for adventure mode... yeah. That should work.

What do I need to make oil at a screw press, and what can I use that oil for, precisely? I heard it had something to do with animal feed.

To be precise, charcoal 1 log= 1 wood lignite 1 stone=2 coke and bituminous coal 1 stone-3 coke. Making coke a normal smelter takes a unit of fuel so lignite really gives 1 and bituminous coal 2 unless you use a magma smelter. 

[TolyK]

no true.

bit. coal/lingite + fuel=> 3 coke
bit. coal/lingite + (magma energy)=> 3 coke
log => 1 charcoal

[Mister Always]

...so for every log I use, I get one unit of charcoal?

Something seems wrong, here.

Edit: And making ash uses fuel, right?

IIRC yes.

Yes.

In bold.

[Mister Always]

...okay, I'm confused. If making a unit of charcoal takes up a unit of charcoal, then how do I ever get more than one charcoal?

[agatharchides]

It doesn't. You get one unit of charcoal from one wood, no fuel needed. Ash doesn't take fuel either, at least in the game I am playing. I just watched him do it and he didn't use anything but a log.
