The only complaint I have with this melting furnace is that the lining is not coated nor do they provide you with the material to coat it, Had they provided rigidizer and or refractory cement, I would give 5 stars across the board. You can obtain these through Amazon but plan on spending at least another $30. I suppose It might work without these items but I don't think it would last very long without them.I like the dual gauge propane regulator and for the price can't complain about the supplied tongs (you will probably want better lifting tongs eventually). The molds that come with it are pretty worthless (10 Kg crucible and a couple of ounce mold) but nice that they included something. Get you the molds you want and extra crucibles for each type of metal you want to melt and you will be set.Overall good for the money.
