I am playing the Journey to the Core modpack on the ATLauncher.
I have a functional smeltery from TK, but no lava to power it. I know the a YouTuber used molten pyrotheum, but I haven't found any of that. I have searched multiple wikis, and they all only mention lava.
How can Tinkers' Contruct furnaces be powered, in To the Core?
This is actually a very easy fix. Your design is something like this:
The extra delay comes from the raising of the signal on top of the block, which is actually unnecessary. Simply lower the signal, like so:
And there you have it. The doors will now be in sync.
According to the Wiki:
Each piece of fuel powers a minecart with furnace for 3 minutes. Adding another piece of fuel at any time increases the total range by another 3 minutes. [...] Minecarts with furnaces on a level track will cover 204m per minute (about 3.4 m/s), or 612m per piece of coal. Pushing multiple minecarts may decrease the range slightly, depending on collisions. Minecarts with furnaces can also pull up to four other minecarts behind them if the carts are first shunted together against a wall and then the furnace minecart is made to change direction.

Haven't played Journey to the Core, but the things that power a TiCon smeltery are Lava and Blazing Pyrotheum from Thermal Foundation. Your best bet is to find some lava if possible, either in a surface lake, near bedrock, or the nether. The modpack author says in a post about the pack that lava is found generally around below level 30, but occasionally higher. Dig down and use your map to find some.
If you want to use pyrotheum, you'll have to craft it from components. It's a much later-game fuel, though, providing much faster melting in return for higher cost. By default, you create Blazing Pyrotheum by putting Pyrotheum Dust in a magma crucible. Pyrotheum Dust is crafted with one each of pulverized coal, sulfur, redstone, and blaze powder. However, these recipes might be changed by the modpack.
