Extracts metal heat
Smelts are small, slender silvery fish found in cold waters of the Northern Hemisphere, prized as food fish.
They run up rivers to spawn and are often caught in large numbers.
The word also serves as the third-person singular of smelt, meaning to extract metal from ore by heating: The foundry smelts iron ore into pig iron.
