CANALHOUT 7KG/15lbs Propane Melting Furnace Kit with Two Tongs and Crucible, All New Kiln Metal Foundry Furnace Smelting Gold Silver Copper Aluminum, Metal Recycle Home Smelting Casting Tool

This propane melting furnace kit exceeded my expectations! It heats up quickly and melts metal efficiently, whether it’s gold, silver, copper, or aluminum. The build quality feels solid, and the included crucible and tongs make the entire process much safer and easier. I was especially impressed by how well it handles aluminum recycling, perfect for my home casting projects.

My husband is very happy with the purchase. Very happy he didn’t go with electric

Product is as described. I followed the instructions to prepare the crucible. Thr build quality is very good. I think the burner could be secured better as I felt it was a bit loose. In addition, the crucible feels a bit weak. I don't have anything to compare it to but it's showing signs of wear after a few uses.I did an initial melt of brass , which was old left over plumbing fittings. Getting the gas to air ratio was a learning experience as well as the temp of the brass.For my first attempt? Proud of the results. I will continue to learn.Word of caution. Please use safety equipment. Gloves, apron and face shield. Also be mindful that you must pay attention to the burn and be aware of placing your crucible on a surface which can handle the heat.Go out and be creative!

Well built works good! Fun sporting smelter!

I got this for my husband as a birthday gift. According to him- its an amazing price and works like a champ. He said he wish it had an internal temp reader, but other than that it's a great working item

Love it!!!

I have no idea what I'm doing.. I'm new to melting metals. I have lots of scrap copper tubing so I thought that I'd melt it into clean copper to get more money for it. I haven't brought it to the scrap yard yet so I don't know if this is the best idea. But, this furnace is hot and easily melts copper. Cons that I found: it uses lots of propane and the pouring tongs aren't the best design. Maybe I have weak wrists but it's not easy to pour 10 pounds of molten copper using these tongs if you use the handles. I've been putting my hand close to the hot kiln to be able to control the pour. Other than that, this furnace is awesome. I'm buying one for my dad for Christmas. I keep getting a hot chunk of slag in the bottom, i don't know if this is junk from the copper or if it's from the air mixing with the molten copper, causing porosity. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing. Each bar weighs 1lb,5oz
