FuelCanister adds the FuelCanister. It's a cheap item which fills itself with as much coal and charcoal as possible on right click. The filled fuel Canister can then be used as a furnace fuel. It combines great efficiency and long burntime, because it smelts one item at a time, but also can smelt as many Items as 8 Stacks of coal by default (16 until 1.15.2). The max Fuel and Fuel types can be changed in the config.
Since 1.15.2, the FuelCanister can also be filled by crafting it with a valid Fuel. By default, all Items, that can be used as furnace fuel and smelt at least 1/4 of an Item are considered valid fuel, but it can be changed in the config to only accept the items, that are also allowed to be used on right-click.
In the current 1.15.2 version (1.3), refueling with right-click does not work in creative mode!
Crafting:
can this be filled with coals from other mods or just the one from the base game?
In reply to jackgenesis:
In the crafting table nay Item, that can be burned in a Furnace can be used.
For refilling with right-click, there is a list of valid items in the config file, where you can add the coal item from that mod and it will work too.
Fabric porting?
Latest version is listed as compatible with 1.12 and 1.12.1, but Forge 1.12 complains about it when attempting to start up.

When the Fuel Canister is full even in a vanilla furnace it won't burn.

Have you used the latest version? I ask, because of a mistake of mine there are two 1.0 Versions of the mod in 1.7 .10.
Anyway I will have a look at it today.
Yes I have.
I even hyperlinked the exact mod file - https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/fuelcanister/files/2378169
Hmmm thats strange. In my tests it worked fine. Could it be, that you used a filled one from the creative tab? They don't work until you fill them, because they are not really filled. When I tried and filled an empty one, it worked fine.
No, when I play I play as survival.
I created the Fuel Canister and filled it with a couple of stacks of coal. Placed full canister into vanilla furnace and tried to smelt cactus into cactus green. Didn't work.
Replaced fuel canister with coal and no issues in vanilla furnace.

I suggest that you enable issue creation on your project - would make things easier then to reply with comments.
Ok, I found the bug. It does not work with completely full canisters. I'll figure out why and upload a new version as soon as I found the reason.
Edit: I found the bug and fixed it in version 1.2.1 which is available now. It was in 1.7.10 - 1.10.2
The texture is missing in 1.1A MC 1.7.10

Ok, I'll have a look at it. But I don't have much free time right now, so it could take a while.
Is there a way to force this to register on machines as just massive quantities of vanilla coal, regardless of what we put into it?
For instance, this works great in vanilla furnaces, and some modded machines... but there are quite a few modded machines that accept vanilla fuel that won't accept your fuel can filled with vanilla fuel.
For instance, the Vies Airships Mod... the airships accept any form of vanilla fuel, and I would love to be able to use your fuel canisters in them. It just makes sense. But it doesnt recognize your fuel can as Coal or Lava, or whatever is actually inside. It sees it as a foreign object. I know that is probably the fault of the machine's mod... but I was wondering if their is any way to make your fuel can register to machines as just very very long burning vanilla coal or something.... to make it more compatible.
I registered the fuel can in a FuelHandler, so it can be used in any modded machine which uses fuel without restrictions or custom modifications.
Most likely that Mod just allows some fuels, then its the Mods fault. But I will take a look if I can do anything about it.
EDIT: I looked at the mod, but it is unfortunately not open source. But it looks like it just has an internal Whitelist for Items you can use as fuel. So the ViesCrafts Mod author has to do something about it
Thanks for looking into it. Great to see devs who are actively engaged in making their mods more awesome.
Ok i added this to config, and it ate the bucket in addition to the lava.
ListFuelItemsForCanister=minecraft:coal-8,minecraft:coal:1-8,minecraft:lava_bucket-100
Even in the 1.1 Version?
Ok, I looked at it, and I forgot to add th check. I'll upload a new Version where it works.
