USA Cast Master 5-6 KG Deluxe KIT Propane Furnace with Crucible and Tongs Kiln Smelting Gold Silver Copper Scrap Metal Recycle 5KG Kilogram

this works amazing. haven't cast anything yet. only complaint would be the crucible is large for the furnace. after refractory cement there's not allot of room to grab the crucible. and like all of these, there's no appropriate tool to lift hot crucible. but that's typical. this is very good quality. nice thick stainless construction, burner works great. I've melted some old copper pipe down so far. working on building some tools to handle the crucible, I'd recommend ordering a small crucible as well if this is your first furnace.

It works amazing. Smelts aluminum, very easily. Also smelts copper and brass but takes a little longer. For only $130 I’d say it’s a steal of a deal. This is my first smelter and so I knew nothing about preheating the crucible, and so it now has a lot of small cracks, but it still works good.

This was my first step into smelting and casting. It's been doing a great job! REMEMBER - USE RIGIDIZER 1st and than 3000F REFRACTORY CEMENT on the insulation - BEFORE USE. Follow instructions carefully and it'll last for years!

This has worked well.

As a beginner metallurgy hobbyist I needed something small to get me started. After reading many reviews, I decided on this Cast Master to get me started. Other people's reviews were helpful to know the best way to have success. If all goes well, then I'll be purchasing more Cast Master.

Great price for a forge and comes with almost everything you need, i say almost because you really need to buy a ceramic coating for the fiber glass on the inside to use it properly and it doesn't come with that since it's meant to be on the cheaper side, the tongs it comes with also aren't great but everything considered this is probably the best budget furnace as long as you're willing to coat it yourself and buy a different pair of tongs

Crucible is terrible. The graphite comes off with smelting

awesome
