Inserters can remove coal from boilers, but not furnaces. I always use this setup with electric furnaces, but I tried with regulars tonight and it doesn't work. From the way that boilers work, I would expect this to.

Because the way inserters work an entity can only have 1 output inventory the inserter will interact with. For furances that's the output slot which means they can't use the fuel slot.
That's by design.

Yes, that would make it impossible to unload furnace without moving out the coal as well.Rseding91 wrote:Because the way inserters work an entity can only have 1 output inventory the inserter will interact with. For furances that's the output slot which means they can't use the fuel slot.
