[@MICHAEL-ys3pu]

Any one else notice the burnt door, not sure he should be playing with fire?

[@kollinfakenamerton1124]

He also has a smoke detector beeping away on low battery through whole unboxing :/

[@koinkollector2873]

Haha

[@SparQz]

It was the Crocs for me.

[@thediyandpianoguy8665]

The door did make me laugh 😂

[@3dguy839]

As long as most of the structure is still there I'm ok with it But yeah the crocs are very concerning

[@ironangel667]

The fire brick is used to keep the crucible balanced inside of the furnace.

[@campingincolorado6432]

I'd bet he figured it out when the crucible stuck to the wool.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

@campingincolorado6432 it didn't stick to the wool. But it did sit more level ones I used it on bottom

[@campingincolorado6432]

@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 my first attempt, I didn't realize how long it took to melt the aluminum, after 45 minutes the crucible was stuck to the wool. Once I used a spoon 🥄 to remove the slag it was a lot easier to see the progress!

[@thalanoth]

18:21 that bug got fuuuuuuucked up lol

[@kenstockton7793]

Not sure if anyone said anything about VENLATION PAINT & PLASTIC IN THOSE CANS😮 NICE KIT, THANKS 😊

[@stevenjohnson2162]

Two things, if you close down the dampener it would burn hotter and use less fuel, if you crush the cans they melt faster and you don't risk splash out when they pop.

[@SparQz]

3rd thing, might be important to change that fire alarm battery....for safety....and better quality videos lol

[@farmer87yj]

love how the bottom of the man-door is burnt and hes doing more "burn" stuff inside ..my kinda guy i do the same shit lol

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

The door was a from something totally different lol and I got a Fire extinguisher setting by it now

[@farmer87yj]

@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 good man dont wanna burn anymore lol but honestly how do you like the smelter i ordered the same one only it cost me 230 cause i live in canada i have over 2 tons of crushed cans to melt dwn

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

@@farmer87yj that's a lot of cans. But so far its works great I have only melted cans so far so can speak to other metal in it. I did a melt and video last night and went thrown probably 10 lbs of can in a few hours. Plus it so cool and fun. Ps I did make a dum mistake trying something I saw on another channel and omost had to use the Fire extinguisher. Lol so definitely be careful.

[@masongregory2]

As a guy who has worked in an Aluminum Smelter a high purity Smelter at that it was hard to watch this video but what we do is different and wayyyyyy bigger lol same concept tho😅 but hey it is a lot to learn lol like how he let the metal freeze up in the casts lol Aluminum freezes pretty quick so about a minute after you pour dump the cast (in some cases not even a minute just depends how big the cast is) and I’d clean up the water in the garage too lol molten aluminum and puddles don’t mix 😅 but he did pretty good for a guy that’s never been around molten metal!

[@Revenant_Dancer]

The water scared me to death was wondering if the tongs were wet when he won’t back in

[@bobh2581]

Try not to let the flames rise above the edge of the crucible or you risk drawing gasses into the metal.. This may result in bubbles in some metals.

[@byLags]

I’m almost 1000000% sure the fire brick is for placing the hot crucible upon. That way you have a safe place to put such an object at that temperature. Also good for pre heating your graphite if you don’t like using the top of the furnace

[@johnnykirk1501]

Can confirm, my smelter that looks and was packed the same, different brand, says to not use the disc inside the furnace, its for a safe spot for the hot crucible.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Thats good to know thanks.

[@bilbo_gamers6417]

@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 it's called a plinth. it helps avoid losing heat to the ground, thermal shock for the crucible, and can help make it easier to pick up the crucible, so you have a place to put your tongs.

[@MICHAEL-ys3pu]

I love this, a bloke that doesn’t know what he is doing showing us how to use something he knows nothing about.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

I check out your channel for the right way and found nothing. You are the what creators make fun of thanks for keeping the Stereotype true 👍 lol your comments makes my day.

[@johnnykirk1501]

The wool stuff, you can get a rigidizer for it, so that it can last a lot longer. I had a hard time applying it to the inside, so when this one gets to where it needs replaced ( like the crucible it should be considered a consumable part, albeit slower, according to the listing) im gonna get 2 bottles so i can dip the wool into the hardener, but it does take a while to cure and harden, which is why i am here watching this xp. If you plan on using the smelter a lot i highly recommend trying that out, so you can get more use from the same stuff

[@daxtonbrown]

I'm getting ready to do my first melt with similar foundry. This helped a lot.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Awesome and just remembered everything's hot lol now that the temperature is dropping I'll be doing some more melts have fun and be safe

[@stevenjohnson2162]

Watch the bigstackd before you do your first melt to see how to do it right this guy is a train wreck.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

I watched him menny time.

[@Nob0dy1791]

Round donut with the hole probably sits under the crucible a fire brick. Use card board between round fire brick and crucible so it won't stick to each other.

[@matersworkshop6123]

Having one for each metal is a good idea

[@DontCallMeGarage]

the ceramic donut goes in the bottom of the furnace to set the crucible on, if it came with (2) donuts then the second one is for placing your hot crucible on after removing it from the furnace

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Thanks

[@JesseMartinez-cm7tl]

Just got mine today setting it up now but had to look up video's it's like watching my self in the future I'm new to this too and have the same set up as you from the torch to the only 2 ingots down to the mechanic chair lol wish me luck

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Thanks for the comment if made me laugh. But yes it lots of fun and so far I haven burned down the garage . Just be careful and rember everything is hot really hot.

[@barrywestfall6935]

I watch bigstack and he puts a small piece of cardboard on the bottom before lighting each time so the crucible doesn’t stick to the bottom. Umm yeah I’m glad you made this video because I just bought the same furnace and have not had the balls to fire it up!!!! 😆

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Bigstackbis one of the channels that made me want to mealt stuff lol. Ill have to try the cardboard thing. And the furnace is fun juat rember everything is hot lol allways ware your gloves.

[@catherineharris4746]

Nice!👍👍👍

[@jdnotariano]

Cool

[@damnu8089]

Need to spray the molds, I'm taking that gas line before you trip over it, don't put water near your modes, open up a door. Stomp you cans down it goes a lot faster. Next time you do this take a reading how hot is sheet rocks getting above head. One more thing replace the battery in that smoke detector by the look of the door find you strongly suggested other than that good first attempt you'll get there

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

What are you spraying the molds with. Un crushed cans melt faster in my experience. The roof is 16 foot high, and the door was a total unrelated incident. You're totally right about the battery, and I have ventilation fans running in the loft. But yes, it takes time to learn it all, and I hope with each burn, I get a little better and safer. I do appreciate the advice.

[@terryl858]

Spray the moods what with

[@evanlightcap4440]

i think the round piece goes in the bottom of the furnace. In the future, might be easier and quicker to crush the cans ahead of time, so you can fit more than one in the crucible at a time. Thanks for the vid though!

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

That was one place i thought it mite go. Lol amd yes your totally right about crushing them. For my first few videos wanted to cool look of them melting. But yes for future burns ill pre cush.

[@barrywestfall6935]

The round heat brick is to put the crucible on when it’s red hot

[@brotherlongshadow8854]

The round fire brick goes inside the furnace under the crucible.

[@fattymcspanky]

RIP that little bug on the brick

[@annpeerkat2020]

I came to spot chicken hawks...and stayed to see if there was going to be any explosions as moisture in cans hit molten aluminium

[@stevewoldanski4780]

You should also coat the furnace kaowool with refractory cement such as satinite.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Your right, and yes, I wish I knew before what I know now.

[@DisasterRC]

@18:25 lol dead bug :D

Hey mate I watched your video and bought myself a cheap online furnace only problem is it seems to be missing a part... Which I could send you a photo so you could see. The flame keeps going out because of it

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

My email is in the description of the video. If you want to send a photo. I can see if I can help. But I am no expert.

[@keithjones605]

What's the black spot on the service door

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

About that... totally unrelated I left a heat gun plug in and handing by the door it fell and turned on. Luckily we found it and put it out before we lost the building.

Very true. I'm gussing at some point you just get a fill for it.

[@brotherlongshadow8854]

@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 Yeah, I figured out that even though it says 30 PSI You still have to have it turned 3/4 of the way up or it won't melt copper. Gonna break down and sell some of the ingots I made and spring for a Devils Forge.

Can lpg or butane be used instead?.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Pretty sure this one only works with propane

[@garygerard4290]

I know nothing about this hobby but I'd think grabbing the crucible only on one side would put a large about of stress on it

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

Same here but I didn't get any other tongs and I have seen othere doing the same. But I would like to get the fancyer ones that grab it from all around and then other ones to pour it. Pouring it with the ones I have is very awkward.

[@stevewoldanski4780]

Get some large water pump pliers to help handle molds and ingots. Don’t drop or shock your graphite molds. They will crack. You are flirting with disaster keeping your water that close.

Why do you have a carbon dioxide detector?

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

It was free.

[@pierrebegin9253]

You better make sure that there is no water or humidity in your cans , if you do you might have an explosion splashing molten metal everywhere ! Pre-heating the cans or metal is a must before plunging it in molten metal.

[@chickenhawkfarmstead8478]

It's really not that big of a deal. Yes, lots of water, but some won't make it explode. It's just the water Turing to steam and it "can" throw melted metal. This is way I put the cans in open side up and don't crush them. Any moisture left in burns off and comes out the opening. If doing ingots they may have lots of moisture just place on top while heating up the crucible like you do with your molds.

[@lisapeters5554]
