Double Burner Metal Melting Furnace Kit

Brings to full temp at 3-4 psi melts everything so far

It works well, but you can tell it’s made in China. The quality is fair. Hoses are the cheapest hose I have ever seen. It does melt copper, brass and aluminum well.

Melted copper, tried lifting the smallest supplied crucible with the tongs in the kit and the crucible edge broke off and spilled 8 pounds of copper inside the furnace. Tipped the furnace over to get the bulk of the copper out. This resulted in the rivets on the lid handle melting, as they were made of aluminum. The package should include a lifting tong and better crucibles. The provided gloves had incomplete stitching which allowed some of the metal to burn my hand when the crucible dropped back into the furnace. Thank goodness it did not break at my feet. I am ordering some lifting tongs and pure graphite crucibles. I do not know if the insulation is compromised, but will find out on the next attempt. I purchased this product thinking it was well rated. I am now doubting the Amazon rating system.

Great for first timers and hobbiest. Just make sure your tank is topped off. Pressure degrades at about the halfway through a tank.

Handle melted off almost immediately. Maybe use sturdier materials around high temperatures? Burner nozzles are cast iron and will burn off over time. Still works, but could be made of better materials. Valves and piping...really everything could be made better, but for a starter furnace it's fine. You WILL need to get a set of tongs and grips for the large crucible. DO NOT try to use the tongs to lift. The igniter was broken to begin with, and the gloves provided are worthless.
