* If you’re using stoked fire, then make sure the fire sources come from Hibachis, or else the fire will get blown out.

The details on that are talked about on it’s page, but will be repeated here for clarity and having to save you from clicking more: Needs a fire directly under it. Each additional fire in the 3x3 ring surrounding the fire underneath the Crucible. Like it’s iron brother, the Cauldron, the Crucible benefits from having more fire underneath it in a 3x3 area. As you will have made the Crucible with a stoked flame in the Kiln, you will likely know how to maintain a stoked flame from that experience, so this will not be repeated here. The Crucible is also unique in that the majority of its functionality is locked behind having a steady stoked flame. Or nearly-broken armor/tools you’ve been using for a while now. This pot enables the creation of Soulforged Steel and the smelting of manufactured tools and armor down into their components, enabling recycling from say… Mob traps.

The Crucible is a very, very important crafting pot, created from smelting an unfired crucible in a Kiln.
