Works good. Crucible did not last long. Had to buy a new one. Good starter kit though.

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!

This propane melting furnace kit exceeded my expectations! It heats up quickly and melts metal efficiently, whether it’s gold, silver, copper, or aluminum.

Workrs Great, easy setup

This is my first foundry so I'm not coming from years of experience but so far I am very pleased. Overall the construction is good and I've had no issues with weak points though only time will tell. It does take a little time and experimenting to get the burners dialed in but now it starts easily and heats up very quickly. Be fair warned that this 25kg version is a beast when it comes to pouring. I added a little fabrication to the pouring tongs in order to pour by myself because this crucible is an absolute unit. Also the tongs are nothing special, I plan on upgrading them soon but they're sufficient to get you going. I'll try to update this as the furnace ages. Happy melting!

Works great. The interior dimensions of the furnace are large enough to accommodate the tongs used for reaching in to remove the crucible. These tongs put less stress on the crucible by supporting it from the bottom as the crucible is removed. Great for heavier metals. I purchased this kit to melt 50 lbs of lead to make ballast for historic single hung windows.

After the 8th use the crucial pitted and cracked. Made a mess of the molton copper and ruined the insulation on the furnace. This could have been a dangerous pour had it not broken inside the furnace. All necessary measures were taken in terms of slowly heating to temperature and using only clean moisture free copper. Not happy with the quality.
