If you’re asking “where is the Furnace?” in Stardew Valley, it isn’t waiting at a fixed location: you usually unlock its recipe from Clint, then craft and place it. Collect at least one Copper Ore; the next morning, leave your farmhouse between 6:00 and 11:30 a.m. to trigger Clint’s cutscene and receive the recipe.

How to unlock the Furnace recipe

  1. Collect at least one Copper Ore. Ore from any source can trigger the event, including fishing treasure or a purchase from Clint.

  2. The following morning, leave the farmhouse between 6:00 and 11:30 a.m. Clint’s cutscene gives you the Furnace blueprint. If you have not met Clint yet, the scene also introduces him.

  3. Open the crafting menu and make the Furnace using 25 Stone and 20 Copper Ore.
