This is a small, automatic smelting setup. While not the fastest, it is quite compact. A unique feature is the hopper minecart used for input; it has a small gate controlled by repeaters set to 4 ticks. This timing allows the hopper to collect more items before releasing them.
The hopper minecart picks up items in batches of 20 to 30. Cooked items are then deposited into chests, with roughly 10 items going into each (though this may vary). Please note that these details might not be perfectly precise as I am not entirely certain.
The overall design is inspired by a YouTuber/streamer named @Lucian Light. I found the design interesting and amusing, so I recreated it.

What to bring first
Survival or creative?
Every block in this build can be obtained in survival, so it can be built by hand without creative mode or commands.
How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Comparator, Detector Rail, Hopper, Lever, Powered Rail, Rail, Redstone Block, Redstone Wire, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
