Is there a way to automate fuel when smelting?

I don't mind the grind; Mining, looking for materials etc.
But having to stay near my base when smelting has become enough of a drag that I don't really feel like going on, especially considering how many bars i need for stuff.

I don't mind a process taking long, eg. fermentation, but at least let me explore and do whatever while it's happening, instead of having to feed the Smelter every 5 minutes, and loot the kiln every 6 or so.

Build more smelters I have at least 4, and build a small hole in front and plank it so all your stuff will drop in it. Nothing will happen.
