Overview
A 6kg propane melting furnace, model TMF6000B-V3, built for melting scrap gold, silver, copper and aluminum at up to 1,300C (2,372F). The V3 update adds a thicker ceramic-cotton lining, a powder-coated body and a 30 psi propane regulator with gauge.
Like other propane furnaces sold under a pottery kiln category on Amazon, this is a metal-melting foundry furnace by design and function and should be read that way rather than as a ceramics kiln. TOAUTO specifies the V3 changes apply to orders placed after November 22, 2022, so an older unit or listing photo may not match the current specification.
- 6kg crucible capacity
- Melts up to 1,300C / 2,372F
- 15-20 minute melt cycle
- Includes mold, tongs and gloves
Who it's for
Suited to home metal casters melting scrap into ingots or simple molds, at a lower top temperature than furnaces rated for iron or steel. Not a fit for anyone wanting a pottery firing kiln, and melting time here (15-20 minutes) runs slower than some competing furnaces.
Pros and cons
- Melts gold, silver, copper and aluminum at up to 1,300C
- Includes graphite ingot mold, tongs and high-temp gloves
- Adjustable 30 psi regulator with gauge
- Thicker insulation lining on the V3 update
- Slower melt cycle, 15-20 minutes
- Not rated for metals with a melting point above 1,300C
- Listed under a pottery kiln category despite being a metal furnace
Performance notes
The 1.2 inch ceramic fiber blanket lining is rated to withstand over 2,000F and is what lets the furnace hold heat efficiently during a 15 to 20 minute melt cycle. A 4.5 x 9 x 0.8 inch firebrick sits at the base to give the crucible a stable, heat-resistant footing. The 30 psi adjustable regulator with a gauge lets propane flow be tuned rather than run at a fixed rate, which affects how evenly the furnace reaches temperature.
