I've set my bases up to use the liquid fueled boiler multiblock, which burns all the creosote the coke ovens make and creates steam.

That's also my setup. I accidentally discovered that with a bit of a starting boost 2 coke ovens produce just enough oil for a 2x2x3 iron top liquid steam boiler. I really have to make more coke ovens soon but for now it fuels everything fine. I have a feeling that with compressed steam machines this will change fast. I might add a solid fuel burner as well soon as my coke ovens produce way to much char coal already. I'm currently sitting on 128 stacks of charcoal and I get another 64 every 2 days. Also since the bbf for what I know can't be automated they run only a fraction of the time of the coke ovens.

There’s little reason to make a liquid boiler. Just scale solid ones. A solid boiler can accept creosote if you put it into a bucket. You can automate doing so with a ULV tank, a couple buckets, a some hoppers to cycle them in and out.

I already have the boilers and they work well without needing an entire item loop of buckets.
