16KG Propane Melting Furnace Kits with Double Forge Burners, 16KG&6KG Crucibles, and Other Smelting Casting Tools, Home Foundry Furnace Kiln for Melting Metal Gold, Silver, Copper

The media could not be loaded. I saw someone's opinion about the lid not staying down, so I added a latch. It works well, plus if I store my crucible inside, there's less chance of it falling out if the smelter gets tipped over. I've tried melting some pop cans for starters... But I think I'm too new at this smelting and could use more tips. I couldn't get the cans to become completely liquid. It may have had too much contaminant from the coating on the cans. Not knowing much then... I put too much heat and melted the iron fittings at the end of the burners... Good thing they're designed to be replaceable. I do agree that the gloves are too thin, but at least you get something to use. The tongs are fine for picking up the crucible, but it'd be nice to get something else that can cup the crucible better later on. And per another opinion I read about the paint coming off... Nope it holds up well. Either way if it did, go put some more on and quit being a princess. I'm glad I purchased this furnace over the other ones I've seen on Amazon, and it works fairly well to me. If it can melt those iron pipe fittings, I suppose it can do more than cans. I'll give it a shot later with more materials laying around.

This product does what it says it will do. I melted down several garbage bags of pop cans and made a couple aluminum ingots. The crucible is showing cracking after this one session, but it was probably my fault as a beginner. The tongs are functional, but not overly sturdy. The mold works well. I used most of a propane bottle to get this done, so it will take some time to get to temp and melt. It's not a bad product. For the price paid, the quality was just fine.

It is a good furnace. I love it except it takes a while to melt copper if you use the 16 KG crucible and if you do use that one for copper, I say you let it heat up first and then add the copper but it’s a great furnace I love it

Used once and the flame extension tubes melted before the material in the crusible.

Great starter for anyone looking to get into smelting. I use it for smelting aluminum, bronze, and copper. Easy to set up.

Assembles easy, works as described, perfect size for what I need, very happy. Only problems I had was a leaking gas valve at the tank connection (in the works for replacement) and I made rookie mistake not using a high temp thermometer ended up melting the burner tips. Guess that answers my questions about can it melt hard metals 🤦‍♂️lolOnly 4 star do to the gas valve leaking

16 kg Furnace delivered quickly. Unit seems to be well made & sturdy. Has everything you need to get started (you have to supply the propane). Tong set is shipped separately from the furnace unit. Easy to assemble. Recommend this 16 kg furnace or the 25 kg furnace (I bought one of those as well) to anyone that has large scrap metal to melt down. Seller responds quickly to questions. Great for large quantity melts.
