I can put any item in it, fuel or not, but I don't understand what they are used for.

It may be for mods where fuel may have a by product, for example in Nullius a hydrogen fuel cell produces a water cartridge when it is used up.

The Heating tower is a
nuclear reactor wearing a hat; normally a Reactor produces a
Depleted fuel cell. It has been configured to use a
BurnerEnergySource of type "chemical":
Code: Select all
type = "burner",
fuel_categories = {"chemical"},
emissions_per_minute = {pollution = 100},
effectivity = 2.5,
fuel_inventory_size = 2,
burnt_inventory_size = 2,
Note the
burnt_inventory_size property matching the
fuel_inventory_size. Heating Towers are capable of consuming a large amount of
low-fuel-value burnables; having two slots makes it possible to load more fuel types simultaneously.
Good Luck!
