I used this to melt 1062 cans (so far) and got 19 pounds of pure aluminum. Very easy to use and was a lot of fun.
For the price, I feel it was a good investment. I ran 7 trash bags full of aluminum cans worth through it.
I bought this to melt aluminum cans. Assembly was easy. All the parts were in the box and they all work together well. They suggest you use the provided, heavy duty gloves when lighting the fire, but they're too thick to use with a fireplace starter, so I used my bare hand and ended up singeing the hair on my hand. Oh well. I've only done one melting session and I have to get better technique because there was a bunch of aluminum in the slag when I removed it. Overall, it works and I like it.
I've seen furnaces in use before, but this is my first time using one. I was completely satisfied with the experience. Really good results without much effort.I'd rate the quality of the furnace as good C even has a ceramic heat shield around where the torch flame enters the furnace to help protect the joint and surrounding housing from turning red-hot. I don't think all furnaces like this come with that added protection.Took only a few minutes to set up. There is a simple process for preparing the crucible for first use (instructions included), but after that it's pretty straightforward: crank up the heat until your metal has melted.I opted for old copper pipe scraps on my first go-round and after about ten minutes in the furnace, it was all set to pour into the included ingot mold. (I did preheat the mold with a plumbing torch, though.)Long term, consumables are just propane and crucibles.
