''For the article encompassing all inserter types, see [[Inserters]].''<br />
<br />
The '''inserter''' can be used to transfer items between entities such as [[transport belt|transport belts]] and [[stone furnace|stone furnaces]]. It is the most basic [[electric system|electric]] inserter.<br />
<br />
Unlike the [[fast inserter]], the inserter is not fast enough to pick up items moving on [[express transport belt|express transport belts]], unless it is highly compressed or items have stopped due to a blockage. Additionally, the basic inserter is unable to access items on the far side of a curving transport belt.<br />
<br />
The inserter is notable in that it is used in the creation of [[logistic science pack]], so players must create an automated inserter assembly line. The basic inserter is also used in the creation of both the fast inserter and the long inserter, and serves as the base item for all electric inserters.<br />

{{:Infobox:Burner inserter}}<br />
<br />
The '''burner inserter''' is the most basic and slowest type of [[inserters]]. It is powered by burning [[fuel]], compared to the more advanced inserters which are powered by [[electric system|electricity]]. It will add fuel to its own supply if it picks any up, which makes it useful for filling [[boiler|boilers]] with [[coal]]. This has the advantage that it will continue working even if the power fails, as opposed to electrically-powered inserters which will be unable to function. It consumes no fuel while idle, though it consumes vastly more energy than other inserters when active.<br />
<br />
A burner inserter sometimes cannot grab moving items from either [[fast transport belt]]s or [[express transport belt]]s. It also cannot grab moving items from turning belts if the item is on the far side. It will try, however, and consume fuel in its attempts.<br />
<br />
Even though it doesn't use electricity, a burner inserter can be connected to and controlled by the [[logistic network|logistic]] and the [[circuit network]].<br />
<br />
== Fuel consumption ==<br />
<br />
A burner inserter consumes no power while idle and does not continuously consume the maximum amount of power when working, so how long fuel lasts can be measured by how many times an inserter can swing back and forth. A burner inserter fueled with coal can swing 57 times, transporting 57 items at a [[inserter capacity bonus (research)|inserter stack size]] of 1, while a piece of wood lasts 28 swings, and solid fuel lasts 178 swings. From these experimental results it can be concluded that 1 MJ of fuel lasts between 14 and 14.25 swings, which is close to the actual number of 70 kJ / 1 swing.<br />
