Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Metal Forge W/ 10KG Graphite Crucible Casting Tool

it was just like it was showed i am having a little hard time with the gas tube but i can get it to work out

I've been using this almost every day for the last few weeks and it works like a charm. Good quality.

I bought this to just melt down aluminum cans, but find myself using it for more. I did a coat of refractory cement, which just adds another layer of insulation. Everything was good quality, although the gloves didn't last very long, I'd pick up a pair of higher quality gloves with a fire rating.

Had massive problems due to how bad the manual was however once I figured it out it's amazing and great price too

Generally nice, well priced, and delivered quickly in a well packed box. The bad news was that the POL gas fitting was oversized and would not thread into the cylinder. Had to remove and replace the POL fitting.

The forge melts aluminum quite well. The gloves are inadequate heat shields for the hands. The “ingot mold”, it too small for anything other than gold. I had to buy a realistic sized one independently. Both the firebrick and the crucible arrived cracked. Despite limitations, it is a low cost way to get in to melting metals.

What i like is the furnace heats quickly. What i did not like was there was No set up instrctions it's best guess.

My product is slightly different than the one pictured above. My gas regulator does not have a gauge, but the new one simplifies the use of adjusting the gas. My regulator just has a knob that will open and close and more you open it, the bigger the flame and hotter it gets. It was easy to adjust the gas and the air intake to the desired temperature. I had it running continuously for over an hour and melted 5 crucibles full of aluminum. The stainless steel did not discolor like the previous painted black versions. The hinge heated up and distorted slightly, while wearing my heavy gloves I was able to adjust the lid to align and close fully. I'm very pleased with this product and would definitely buy it again.

Package arrived in good shape with all the parts and assembled easily. I am new to casting so I am not sure the volume of metals yet but my first try was a success with a 1 kg ingot of aluminum using just cans. I heated this furnace up until it glowed red inside and after cooling it showed no visible wear other than a few brown marks, so It appears this will last a long time.

Great little furnace. This is my first time doing anything like this but it was very easy to set up and start using. Heats up fast and I’ve done five pours so far on my first tank of propane. I hope to get more. Had to contact customer service about a small issue, but they were on top of it and have already resolved my problem. The only issue is that I like this one so much that I’m going to want a bigger one before too long. I’ll definitely be using these guys again.
