every time i start a new world, i can never find coal very easily. well i think to myself, wood can be burned in my furnace as a torch. problem is i cant burn the wood all by its self without cooking or smelting something also. i just need some light.

your close, so close. all you need to do is pop some wood in the furnace (both as fuel and something to smelt) and BAM you get charcoal! can be used like normal coal.
Um, I don't understand quite what your'e saying so I'm just going to assume that you mean you need coal to smelt logs into charcoal, um you can just put planks for the fuel instead of coal to make the charcoal.
I see now that you meant you wanted to use something other that coal to make torches, I'm just going to assume your'e new but the ability to make charcoal has been around for a long time.

He means that furnaces should be able to burn without something to smelt. He cites light as the reason, although all the fuels could provide light better and longer without a furnace.
And actually, there is a way to use furnaces purely for light (if you're playing a "no torches" challenge, for instance). Put something cookable in the top slot, put fuel in the bottom slot, and then remove the thing in the top slot before it cooks. The furnace will keep burning.

And put it in the TOP slot of a furnace, then, put planks in the bottom.
It will make charcoal, basically coal, but easy to acquire.
There ya go.

That is, assuming he is at least half-logical.

This. You really should do your research before you post.
