Changing Crucible In Canned Heat Glass Hot Pot
After developing a large crack in my crucible and getting all sorts of stones in my glass I decided it was time to change the crucible out in my Canned Heat Glass Hot Pot.

How is the kegler clear cullit? Do you get any chords. Love your setup definitely will be taking some inspiration for mine.

It wasn't great but my guess is that has more to do with how I ran the studio than the cullet itself, I ran it only one day a week on average, so would blast it in the morning to get it going, took about 2-3 hours to fully heat up, would work 5-6 hours and then turn it off, which I'm sure is horrible for the crucible but what is designed for. So no chords as I basically emptied the pot each day I worked but a fair amount of bubbles, no huge ones, and a fair number of stones and flakes from the walls of the crucible. I didn't really sell my work at high end galleries, I either gave it away or sold it to people who understood it wasn't perfect, and if that is ok with you then it's a great way to get loads of practice without renting time at someone else's studio, it was a lot of fun! I've moved now and had to sell the equipment but would probably think about setting it up again if I end up in a home with enough room.

I bought it online at stores.guadalupeglass.com/11-5-round-bottom-crucible-crb1000/ and it cost about $250, obviously they sell way more sizes than the one I just linked to.
