Overview
A propane-fired foundry furnace for melting scrap metal at home, built around a 6kg graphite crucible and stainless steel housing. It's rated to reach 2,700F (1,482C) in roughly 6.5 to 8 minutes and ships with the furnace, burner, crucible, tongs, propane hose and a fire brick.
This is listed under a pottery firing-kiln category, but the title and specs describe a metal-melting foundry furnace for casting gold, silver, copper and aluminum, not a ceramics kiln; treat it as smelting equipment rather than pottery gear. VEVOR notes the crucible is a wear item good for roughly 2 to 3 melts before it needs replacing, worth budgeting for beyond the initial purchase.
- 6kg graphite crucible capacity
- Heats to 2,700F / 1,482C in 6.5-8 minutes
- Stainless steel housing, 1.2 inch insulation
- Furnace, burner, crucible, tongs and hose included
Who it's for
Suited to hobby metal casters and blacksmithing DIYers looking to melt scrap gold, silver, copper or aluminum into ingots or cast pieces. Not for anyone expecting a ceramics kiln, and not for indoor use given the open-flame propane burner.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reaches 2,700F in under 8 minutes on propane
- Comes complete with crucible, tongs and burner
- Stainless steel body with insulated lining
- Crucible is a wear part, rated for only 2-3 melts
- Requires open-air use for the propane burner
- Not a pottery firing kiln despite its category listing
Performance notes
Stated capacity varies by metal density rather than a single weight figure: up to about 13kg of gold, 7kg of silver, 6kg of copper or 1.8kg of aluminum in the 6kg-rated crucible. A 1.2 inch insulation lining is built to hold heat and extend the crucible's working life, and the non-welded cover with a handle is meant to make it manageable to lift and pour without the setup coming apart under repeated heating and cooling. Reaching full temperature in under 8 minutes on propane is fast for a furnace this size, though propane use means it needs open-air ventilation.
