This is a two-burner propane melting furnace built for scrap metal work: a stainless steel body, a graphite crucible rated to hold 12 kg, and a stated top temperature of 2700°F. It handles copper, aluminum, gold and silver, and the kit ships with the burners, propane pipe and pressure gauge, tongs, fire bricks, refractory cement and a brush. The double-burner setup and thick 30 mm insulation point to faster heat-up and better heat retention than single-burner hobby furnaces, at the cost of more propane plumbing and a heavier 32 lb unit. It suits hobby casters and small shops melting larger batches; buyers should expect a learning curve on burner tuning and crucible handling.
