Here's the in-depth tutorial for the Blast Furnace. Relatively compact, cheap, easily extendable, and stupidly quick at smelting full chests of ore - no base is complete without one ; )

Minecraft Tutorial - "Blast Furnace Super Smelter"

My second design using hoppers and, dare I say, my favorite. The Blast Furnace is a compact furnace array that makes use of some clever redstone to use a whole lot less iron (hoppers) than other, similar designs floating around out there.

As a result, for only one hopper per furnace extra, the Blast Furnace automatically sorts/divides fuel into the system, as well as the ores.

By dividing the workload evenly between all of the furnaces in the array, the Blast Furnace is stupidly quick at smelting entire chests of ores.
