Hey mate, great vid. That looks like a graphite crucible? From my experience, graphite crucibles don't like being subject to an open flame for too long. I find that they are more suited to an induction heater. But what you've done here, had it been a clay/graphite crucible, would have definetely done the job. Seeing as you're melting gold.. I would opt for a small ceramic dish crucible, and heat with a carborizing flame using oxy/acet.

@@MurrayRiversGoldAdventures Nice one mate. Just a word of warning though... It's highly addictive. I used to collect and sell copper to scrap yards.. Now I buy it off them just so I can pour a fresh ingot😌

I only use Quartz crucibles glaze the whole thing and everything runs nice no sticking

Good job, there's heaps of videos on how to do it on a thing called KZread 😂 , if you need tips! You can only get better. 1 thing i will ask is with the ports in the side of the furnace, do they go straight in or are they angled? Cheers Andy

Yes, I've seen a few, but nothing on small crucibles like mine. They do angle a little bit

Where can you find that setup?

I got it from Market Place on Facebook. It's a US set-up. There's an Australian setup very similar called Hobos Gold Furnace. I couldn't get one shipped over from there.
