However, subsequent operations will take a similar amount of time despite the furnace being at temp already, as it needs to heat the metal from cold."

Consider heating your metal in a $(l:tfc:mechanics/charcoal_forge)Charcoal Forge$() before putting it into an already-hot furnace to save time, especially with smaller blast furnaces that process less at a time."
