Allow clearing of fuel in crucibles

Now that certain recipes need certain fuels, allow us to smother the flame and add different fuel. Now if you add branches to your crucible to make nuggets, you have to wait for the branches to burn out before you can make something like bronze.

Rather allow clearing of all stuff that uses fuel of some sorts. (kilns, oven, smoker, etc.)

Arguably should be possible to chimney sweep them clean, but you can just let them burn out. BUT I GUESS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

Oh yeah it's not a bad wait time, just with fuel specific crafts for this it's just some extra QoL

Or some option like "Make It Burn" that consumes all the fuel in one tick, while the audience enjoys a short-lived mini-apocalypse:

Bump, currently waiting for woodblock to burn out because I incorrectly assumed (based on quite hazy memories from junior high school) that glass has low melting point and would be ok with wood-fuel.

Maybe give crucibles any kind of UI or a fuel meter or something while you're at it

Yeah this would be really useful. Since those things don't seem to save the progress of what is inside them any more, for example a smoke shed runs out of fuel before the meat is smoked which resets the progress, this means you have to overfill the fuel causing the burn out process to take longer than if you simply knew how much exactly you needed for one batch. According to the wiki a Smoke Shed filled with 10 blocks can smoke 3 to 4 batches of meat, yet using 4 blocks is not enough to complete one batch entirely.
