Different fuel types have different heat levels. It would be useful to determine what type of fuel is being used and adjust the amount to feed into the firebox based on the heat units of that fuel.

This should be easier for solid fueled boilers, since there will be and inventory slot to check. Liquid fueled will be more difficult. Maybe cache the most recently seen liquid fuel type and recalculate if a new fuel type appears in the boilers internal fuel tank.

The fuel-miser script should also manage solid fueled boilers. It will need a way to control fuel flow into the firebox. ( hopper & redstone signal? )

Make the code in fuel-miser that updates the external monitor with boiler status optional. Check for monitor presence at start, and skip external monitor calls if there's none attached/configured.
