Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Kit, 8KG/18lbs Gas Metal Melting Furnace Kit, Foundry Home Kiln with Crucible, Tongs, Wooden Handle, Smelting Casting Tool for Gold Silver Copper Aluminum Metal Recycle

Delivery was fast and no damage or missing parts. I'm making some tools to lift and pour the crucible. I used a spray on rigidizer on the insulation instead of refactory cement. Can't wait to try it out.

Worked as advertised Only thing I have to say is watch some videos on how to prep the furnace and crucible before using.

Been throwing around the idea of melting away my soda pop cans, so i finally dove in, loved it day one

It came fast and in good shape it is working as it should so if you need to do some smeltering it is a good choice to get because the price is definitely right and it works good

Well packaged, well made and very fast delivery. The lid comes with a handle which the customer has to attach. Not sure if I wouldn't prefer a hinged lid. We'll see when I get a chance to use it.

The handle will fail. It may be fast, maybe slow. But it's inevitable. Everything works great on this unit, including the propane control, along with the manual air shutter that is sturdy. Solid , Stainless Steel construction. Another downer, the refractory needs to be addressed. Two ways: 1. Refractory cement. 2. There is a pink spray out there that would save time, money, and weight! And it is easy to reapply! Refractory cement is awesome, but requires rebuilding g occasionally. See photos of a custom handle idea.

This furnace will provide you with a steady, rugged and reliable melting process. The shiny VEVOR label looks sharp and professional. The body is constructed of heavy guage Stainless steel. The refractory will need to be treated prior to initial use, but the process of doing so is very quick and easy to do. The only problem is the handle. Get a substitute wood handle ready, as the one from the factory will only last approximately 12 to 15 melts and becomes brittle and detaches. The competitors use a small hinge on the top lid, but having the lid removable is easy to get used to and is very functional, so i don't count it as an issue. Overall, this is a great product and big enough for mostly all base metal casting operations!

Easy enought to put together, but I had to hand sand 1mm off the nozzle so it would fit. It could probably use a layer of refractory cement as well… but its cheap, and it works, its just not a forever tool

couldn't get copper to melt. it would soften to nearly liquid but never get all the way. im not happy and I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it.

Charged to 100%, tried to start my F350, it did absolutely nothing. I drug out my old jump pack and the old one worked just fine. Normally Vevor knocks it out of the park, not so much with this.
