Great video Sir

Things melt a lot faster if you can’t get that heat into the top of the crucible

How long does it often take you to melt brass that way? 🤔

A long time. Probably an hour beginning to end. Just when you think it’s not hot enough, it’ll melt.

I tried to melt some copper today, and my furnace didn't get hot enough. I had store-bought hardwood lump charcoal with forced air from a shop-vac. Do you know if homemade charcoal burns hotter than store bought charcoal?

I really don’t know if charcoal will get copper up to its melting point. It might take quite a while if it will.

Hi, do you think that if i have weak air to my charcoal furnace ( my breath :) ) that softwood charcoal will really help me?

I think getting more air in there will help a lot more. Even a computer fan would be better than your breathe?

It is good for grilling?

Did you have to add a bigger blower?

I used a cheap handcrank forge blower, poor construction but it worked. Took nearly everything the little blower had to give but I made an ingot, the blower still works but it sounds rough now. 😂

I constantly add oil to the cup on the shaft of my blower when operating. It’s an old girl and I don’t want to wear it out! Certainly a good workout though!!

Spruce for BBQ? What about all the resin from the wood? Nobody uses spruce for smoking but when turned to charcoal - is it still that toxic? Hmmm...
