Copper melting in brand-new mini furnace plus set up

[@bigstackD]

If there is any issue with worldwide delivery of this Devil-Forge contact the guys at [e-mail] and they can sort it out for you😁

[@carlosmarques8380]

I challenge you to get a full old car motor from a junkyard or something and see how many ingots you can get

[@bw9988]

How many melts can you get out of 1 20 lb propane tank?

[@uli9252]

We're are buy the molds Pls link

[@Metalstacker]

No problems at all with this great company!

[@Metalstacker]

@@bw9988 I use 10.5 kg (that is about 22 lbs) propane and have melted 4 times copper, 3 times aluminium and 1 time brass. I think I have still propane left for another aluminium melt 😁 all cunsumptions depend on the metal you want to melt. Copper needs more heat than aluminium, so copper consumes more propane.

[@nolanwhite1971]

They're not giving you enough for these videos, man. I've been looking at getting one of their furnaces for a while now, and this is pushing me over the edge.

[@castingtechnology3338]

This is the best commercial ever. I bought my burner because I saw it on your channel.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Awesome bro! Maybe I’ll get the pleasure of owning a devil forge in the future. 👍🏻 great mid week melt and unboxing

[@ryannu1578]

ArtByAdrock a lot cheaper to make your own

[@akakscase]

This specific model is a great starter forge. It isn't too big, is easy to use, and at higher bars of propane gets hot enough to melt quartz (which I found out the hard way)

[@akakscase]

Hey! That is the one I got. It is ridiculously hot! By running it a little higher (1.6 bar) I was able to melt and pour over 12 kg of aluminum in a little over 30 mins. I was also able to do my first brass cast (only 400g of brass needed so I only melted 1 kg and poured the rest into a bar) in a little over 10 mins. LOVE this little furnace...

[@Thewulf56]

Same one I use, it was a really good startup furnace in my opinion. Melts quickly, awesome little furnace. I wanna get the 10kg next when I buy my next one.

[@Kamal_AL-Hinai]

Amazing! Looks like they upgraded the DFP burner. I can see that the air intake control piece is thicker, and the flame is fiercer. Thanks Devil-Forge for supplying BigstackD!

[@bigstackD]

Yeah mate she’s an absolute beauty I love it👍🏻😆

[@akakscase]

I love this one too. Mostly I use it for aluminum (recycling is big here) but I've got about 15 kg of scrap copper I want to melt and some gold I want to try casting (probably run it super light for that)

[@schoppy42]

I JUST ordered one, and it WILL BE HERE IN A WEEK!!! I cant wait till it gets here :-) I got the "FB1Sb-4KG GAS METAL MELTING FURNACE" I'm real happy with the price. It was cheaper than some of the others that I was looking at that wasn't the same quality. If you want a great forge, go to the best company. Right now I'm going through all of the vids on how to set it up and operate it properly. I just got a new wire stripper machine (that's manual operated) to strip a BUNCH of wire. I also have a bunch of aluminum that I'm looking forward to melt down. Being a Disabled Vet, I'm always trying to find something that I can do. A few years ago (about 8-10 years) My nephew and I built a coal forge out of an old break drum. We could even melt rebar (lol we left it in too long). We melted down a bunch of aluminum cans and still have the small aluminum muffins that we made. Cornbread muffins do taste better though rofl. I have a 3d printer that I think I can try to make some molds out of, but have never tried. All in all, I'm really looking forward to start making things. PS: what is the best type of crucibles to get? I want to make sure that they will holdup the best. I do know that they will all need to be heat treated before melting metal. Thank-you

[@bigstackD]

No worries buddy if you hit me up on my email I can send you a heap of info to help get you started also if you contact devil forge and let them know I sent you and you forgot to ask them for the 5% discount before you purchased there’s a good chance you’ll get some money back on your furnace 👍🏻 [e-mail]

Mr BigstackD That was such a lovely pour and the ingot turned out super perfect. looking foward to fridays episode. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll have us all casting like you in no time!

I literally just got this forge, 4KG Devil Forge. I did the ridigizer and hooked everything up. Got crucible, tongs, and molds in the mail

[@debrawhite9998]

Where will they ship too?

[@tbkustomknives8907]

Nearly every country

[@akakscase]

Depending on the size of the crucible the store bought tongs I find very flimsy. I went to the hardware store and bought extra firebrick (after exploding some of the concrete on my garage floor the first time) a pair of channel locks and some heavy duty fireplace tongs and those work great. I might post a short video on how I run and pour.

[@debrawhite9998]

@@tbkustomknives8907 idk, is says in red letters, I quote, "Doesn't post to United States" any clue what that's about? I'll buy it if I can get it here.
