Smelting combines systems from both brewing and cooking, so by the time you're ready to spend a lot of time in the forge you should already have a handle on how it works. With this guide, you can create and customize to your heart's content.

Charcoal can be found while adventuring, but the vast majority of your supply will be created as a byproduct of cooking. Charcoal is used up completely when utilized for forging, and does not leave a byproduct of its own.
