7KG/15lbs Propane Melting Furnace Kit w/ 2 Tongs & Crucible

This CANALHOUT melting furnace with a tilting but attached lid is very well-made and with the propane gas source- melts pretty fast in a large crucible. Easy to use and safe with this type of lid- that is why I picked this unit to replace an older furnace with a removable lid that was a lot harder to use trying to set the hot lid on the ground, etc. With the included two set of tongs and a large graphite crucible- pre-heat the crucible with melted Borax in it to swirl around and coat the inside- you are ready to go. With the included regulator and gas/ air regulating tube- this unit gets hot fast and reaches high temps needed for melting metals. Easy to replace the insulation and clean if needed and built with strong materials- this size furnace is perfect for my uses of mineral testing and concentrate melting. The tilting lid is perfect and picking the hot crucible out is easy with the tongs from this excellent furnace! Great find!

Came with everything you needed to get started other than a lighter, propane, and a mold. Thats pretty nice for the price. The unit works well and gets up to temp fast, i found the flame will go out randomly sometimes even if i play with pressure. Im not exactly sure what its made from but its kinda rusting now around the hot parts which is kinda lame as the last ones i had would, only be abit chared. It has handles to move around, they are small but work. And some weird handle on the back i dont touch. Crucible is big and tough, tongs are long and work nicely for this so i liked that. And the unit will hold a larger crucible. All in all id recommend this for a beginner or someone thats been doing this for a while, works fine and gets the job done. Pros -size -price -includes everything -light weight Cons -feels a bit cheap -rusts?

Delivery was great. Frustrated with produce. Try to melt aluminum as suggested with no success. Follow video on YouTube, still trying to troubleshoot why it's not working.

Got this as a Christmas gift to myself to start melting some silver. It worked like a charm. I would definitely heat up The Crucible then let it rest before heating your first batch of metal, I season mine with a little borax. All attachments fit perfect and the tongs appear to be nice and sturdy definitely recommend some leather welding gloves. Also bought some Graphite Rods to stir some borax Into The Crucible. I poured two bars my first try and the third bar I ran out of propane. Great little furnace and all-in-one price. I had to buy a mold to pour it in and the Graphite Rods but everything else came with the kit. Looking forward to Melting more...

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!
