# Smelter

This structure is required to smelt the raw [metal ores](broken://pages/WMGpfbF9YG3IM1XtFNjz). With high heat it generates, smelter cooks foods faster than a [campfire](/tribals.io-wiki/building-elements/camp-fire.md). 

Has 5 inventory slots.

Protected by a [toolbox ](/tribals.io-wiki/structures/toolbox.md)if its placed adjacent to a protected building element.

Can be placed on the [platforms](/tribals.io-wiki/structures/wooden-platform.md) and the ground.

Decays with 6 units every minute.

Each hit costs 30 durability damage to the attacker's weapon.\
It has 5000 max durability.

[Craftable](/tribals.io-wiki/crafting.md), requires [<img src="/files/FIZSa7n8YWt8zslOqlzt" alt="" data-size="line">](broken://pages/ISVPELS1t2NiO3MBpcT2)250x, [<img src="/files/Rsv8eIePUfLcBHAHAg7e" alt="" data-size="line">](broken://pages/UoRMsj750bjXGj8tIDXJ)200x.
