From Vintage Story Wiki
  1. First, place the 6 grate blocks on the ground and the 2 coffin sections on them. These are the center blocks of the structure. The coffin sections will always be placed with the open side towards the player. As soon as the full coffin is placed - without coffin lid, for now - the player can use Shift + Right mouse button on the coffin to display the building help.
  2. The full size of the furnace takes up a 5x5 space that is 6 blocks tall, however, an additional layer below the grates will be required to place fuel in.
  3. Raise the walls up by two blocks, and don't forget to place the iron door at some point in the process.
  4. Build up the roof, covering every open block with one above in a stair pattern. The finished furnace should have a 2 block high chimney as shown below. The chimney on top of the structure does not have to be open to the sky at the moment, but if it is blocked there will be no smoke indications shown while the furnace is running.
  5. The confusing part about building a cementation furnace is the space below the actual brick structure. For the process to work, the player needs to be able to access the two spots below the coffin placed on the grate blocks, as the steel making requires fuel layers to be placed on those two blocks. Due to the fact that coal will behave similar to snow if piled up to high, it is recommended to put stabilizing blocks to the side of the two open spaces for the coal. It is not required to close this space off airtight, the player can choose to leave a permanent hole or put in a coke oven door. Note that none of the refractory brick blocks can be removed to access this space, instead the opening needs to be created one block below the lowest brick layer.
  6. If the structure was build correctly, there will be no further indication of missing or misplaced block when using Shift + Right mouse button on the coffin.
