Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace 2KG, 2462°F, Metal Foundry Furnace Kit with Graphite Crucible and Tongs, Casting Melting Smelting Refining Precious Metals Like Gold Silver Aluminum Copper Brass Bronze

Works great! I've used it to make jewelry, knives, and a great multiplicity of other things. Great price for the quality. Extrodanaly easy to use. Be careful when using the lid for an extended time. The metal heats up and starts burning the wood, but other than that it works beautifully. The tongs are fanominal but one does have to be cautious when adjusting to their grip. I have had red-hot steel try to jump up in my face because the tongs aren't as tight as they could be.

Very good quality for the money spent, Heats fast and even, Needs a higher quality Crucible but the one supplied works to start. I would Highly recommend Buying a stiffener for the Insulation before using, you won't regret the extra $16 dollar investment it will keep the insulation from sagging and eliminate a lot of headaches and hassle also Get some High Quality Teflon tape for the connections before hand or it will leak. Invest in Crucible Tongs that Cradle the Crucible for better control pouring. Be Safe Have Fun;)

I am very pleased with the forge. Works as I expected. I can melt a crucible of bronze in 45 minutes! Have used it several times without any problems.

i love it and it works great, could have better instructions to set up thought. other than that it’s great.

Steam air leak from this furnace. It is unsafe to use it.

I've poured over a hundred aluminum ingots and I'm very happy (over 1,500 F for those). I also poured four copper ingots - it reached 2,150 F for those. Be sure to put a piece of cardboard beneath the crucible each time. I'm not using the firebrick - they give you two, a square one for upright crucible work, and a rectangular one for laying-on-the-side forge work. I had to take apart and clean the nozzles, as one of them had debris particles and was flaming out.

Great furnace with a huge crucible. Works as advertised heats up fast and can smelt like crazy. Only downside is the top insulation tends to sag leaving the thin top metal not protected. Hasn't burnt through yet but most probably wil

Outstanding performance everything works as intended I used it a handful of times to melt copper easy to use easy to maintain all you need Is some refractory cement and you’re ready to rock ‘n’ roll?

Great start off for the beginner blacksmith I have recommended this site to many who have asked questions. Foundry is really good quality and can’t wait to try it out.

I recently purchased this furnace and have found it to be quite impressive overall. It operates efficiently and meets the expectations set by its description. The assembly process was straightforward, which I greatly appreciated as it allowed for quick setup and usage. The furnace itself appears to be robust and durable, giving a sense of reliability for long-term use. However, I encountered some issues that are worth noting. The tongs provided with the furnace do not effectively grip the crucible, making it challenging to safely pour out liquid, melted metal. This is a significant concern as it affects the usability of the furnace in practical scenarios. Additionally, the quality of the crucible itself is disappointing. Its construction feels substandard, which raises concerns about its ability to withstand repeated use, especially under high heat. The fragility of the crucible makes it difficult to handle confidently with the tongs provided, as there is a constant fear of breakage. Despite these drawbacks, considering the price point of $100, the furnace still represents a good value for money. It delivers satisfactory performance for basic melting tasks and could be a viable option for those on a budget. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, though I would recommend potential buyers to be prepared for the possibility of needing to invest in a higher-quality crucible and more effective tongs to fully utilize this furnace safely and effectively.
