I think it would be cool, to smelt Basalt in a furnace and get Asphalt in return.
For this, a furnace should get an additional input slot, in which a stack of up to 16 buckets can be stored. Smelting 9 basalt blocks and consuming 1 bucket yields 1 bucket of hot asphalt. If the asphalt is poured from the bucket, liquid asphalt would be created on the block it is poured onto, and on adjacent blocks, if it can float to them (Same behaviour as lava, just with a floating range of only 1). So in total a maximum of 9 blocks of liquid asphalt blocks would be created. As liquid asphalt is hot, it will set inflammable blocks that are in direct touch with it on fire and deal fire damage to player and mobs. In this stage it still can be re-picked up with a bucket. The asphalt cools down within 3 seconds after pouring, and then becomes a solid, non-inflammable block of dark grey color.
A player or a mob who is standing "inside" of a still liquid asphalt block when it becomes solid, suffers damage, until he destroys the block (Like when standing in gravel). Asphalt blocks can be destroyed with a pickaxe. Onyl with silk touch asphalt blocks can be collected, withour silk touch, they will break into asphalt clods, which can be used as fuel for a furnace (compareable to coal).
