Fire Resistance + Furnace = Silly Message - sartorius - 12-10-2014
After being ludicrously dispatched as a fire-resistant mutant by getting shoved into the furnace, I suggest that the responsible party should get various silly messages about how they can't seem to burn the guy with fire resistance rather than be able to kill a guy capable of standing in the middle of an overloading engine without dying simply by shoving him into a small box.
"You shove X into the furnace, but they pop right out again."
"You try shoving X into the furnace, but notice with dismay that they don't appear to be burning."
"X pops out of the furnace with a grin on their face, apparently unharmed."

should just trap you in there permanently, alive. fuel can't be taken out, after all

"X gazes at you at you from the furnace angrily/forlornly/with great interest/with great boredom."
Why not have flipping break the furnace then?

Sabotage all the furnaces by stuffing them full of fire-resist monkeys.

"Joe McPubs starts to load the char ore into the furnace"
"With an angry chimper, the char ore is pushed out of the furnace"

Only if filling the monkeys with fliptonium first is required for the furnaces to burst open resulting in a small wave of Searing Heat and a permanently damaged furnace.

Heat resistance is not the same as heat immunity - the temperatures of the engine are still enough to kill you. And I don't just mean furnaces, either, standing too close to a heat-the-halls hellburn will kill you just fine.

I can't help but think that changing up a small excerpt from the Cremation of Sam McGee would work great for anyone trying to use a furnace with someone fire resistant in it. Here is the original ending.
Quote:I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I'll just take a peep inside.
I guess he's cooked, and it's time I looked"; ... then the door I opened wide.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
And a first pass at an edit.
