The metal is thin.After just one use, the surface started to warp, which might be due to poor insulation. The metal deformed when exposed to high temperatures. It's not worth the price.

How easy it was to assemble. I use it to melt various types of metal. It's cut down length of time it takes to perform a melt in half. It works great. It would be better if it came with a lid that swung open and shut down instead of having to use the tongs to take it off the furnace and set it down somewhere safe.

Handle melted off almost immediately. Maybe use sturdier materials around high temperatures? Burner nozzles are cast iron and will burn off over time. Still works, but could be made of better materials. Valves and piping...really everything could be made better, but for a starter furnace it's fine.You WILL need to get a set of tongs and grips for the large crucible. DO NOT try to use the tongs to lift.The igniter was broken to begin with, and the gloves provided are worthless.

Very easy to assemble and simple to use if safety precautions are observed. This kiln melted 1 Kg of scrap copper in about 20 minutes from start up to pour. My electric kiln couldn't do it in an hour. Very efficient and I recommend it.

Melted copper, tried lifting the smallest supplied crucible with the tongs in the kit and the crucible edge broke off and spilled 8 pounds of copper inside the furnace. Tipped the furnace over to get the bulk of the copper out. This resulted in the rivets on the lid handle melting, as they were made of aluminum. The package should include a lifting tong and better crucibles. The provided gloves had incomplete stitching which allowed some of the metal to burn my hand when the crucible dropped back into the furnace. Thank goodness it did not break at my feet. I am ordering some lifting tongs and pure graphite crucibles. I do not know if the insulation is compromised, but will find out on the next attempt. I purchased this product thinking it was well rated. I am now doubting the Amazon rating system.

This made a great gift for my son in law. He does so many crafts and this was perfect.

Love using it to melt copper and making copper bars. Takes up less room than scrap.

Great for first timers and hobbiest. Just make sure your tank is topped off. Pressure degrades at about the halfway through a tank.
