Obtaining
Crafting
The Hot Topic achievement is for crafting a furnace.
Breaking
A furnace drops itself only when mined with a pickaxe. Mined with anything else, it drops nothing. A pickaxe is not effective against it. A lit furnace drops an unlit one.
Usage
A furnace is placed with its front facing the player. Using it opens its three slots; see Smelting#Using a furnace.
A furnace is lit while a piece of fuel burns in it. A lit furnace gives off light, and shows flames and smoke at its front.
Breaking a furnace drops its contents.

Behaviour
A piston cannot push a furnace, except in the tick the furnace lights or goes out. A piston that answers the block update the furnace sends then can. The pushed furnace loses its contents and stays lit for good, and the piston's head takes its old place.
Each time a furnace lights or goes out, one spare block entity is left ticking with nothing in the world pointing at it.
