Great for melting all kinds of metals
This forge is really built well. I have had mine for about a year and the forge still works great. I mostly use it for melting and refining aluminum which it is does super quickly however, brass and copper take quite a bit longer. I found that it really helps melt them quicker if I attached a leaf blower to the air intake. My only complaint is that the opening in the top doesn't quite fit a pop can in it, so I have to take it off every time I put a new can into the crucible. Other than that it has been a great forge.

Simple, Effective, Affordable
Everything I'd hoped for in a beginner's metal casting forge. The casing distorts a bit from the round after several uses but that's to be expected considering the gauge of the metal. This does not affect the functionality though. My only suggestion that is not covered in the instructions is perhaps a bit more explanation of the air inlet settings for optimum heating (a bit of excess air yields a hotter and more stable flame, too much excess air yields an unstable flame). I also advise pinching off a bit of Kaowool from the lid and stuffing it around the propane burner probe to prevent flame leakage back out around the probe. I reach bronze melting temperatures in about 10 minutes (note, the inside of the crucible is always cooler than the flame exhausting through the lid).

Easy set up & heats up fast
This is the first furnace I've purchased and it works great! The set up was easy and when I tested it, it heats up fast. All parts came ready to use and thee included accessories are perfect to get started. The furnace is easy to adjust with the temperature. I attached it to a 40 lb propane tank to get more time out of the furnace. The crucible was easy to heat treat in the oven and now it is ready to melt some metal. Safety equipment is recommended. All in all worked better than I expected it to. I’m looking forward to working with this furnace and melting all types of metal. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially beginners, looking to melt metal.

Great for a first time hobbyists.
I picked this kit up with some items needed to deal with working with molten metals. Everything worked out just fine with putting it into production and started smelting the same day. It's been a few months and it has held together fine after many uses. As a propane smelter, it does what it was meant to do and that's about it, you'll want to pick up PPE and other things as you get better at working with the unit.

Awesome product, awesome price
This is one of the finest companies in terms of customer satisfaction and communication. Everything was packed with great care and professionalism. The product itself will easily melt anything from aluminum to copper within minutes. All the welds are solid and the forge itself is made of high quality steel. It comes with a 5kg crucible and a small fire brick to set it on. The thermostat is adjustable along with an air intake for further adjusting. I would highly suggest this forge set to anyone looking all over the net for a great quality product for an excellent price. It was supper easy to assemble, less than 5 minutes. Great for beginners and seasoned users. Thanks cast master for an awesome product.

Great for beginners
Got this as a gift for my hubby who'd expressed interest. This is a great starter furnace. It took a little bit of experimenting to get the flow of air just right, but he figured that out pretty quickly. All in all, it's easy to use and set up, only a little bit scary, and a lot of fun once you get it going. Very happy with the purchase!

Great Product at a Competitive Price
I had built a couple charcoal forges to melt cans and decided to take the plunge and get a propane fired one. Now im kicking myself for waiting this long! Its so much easier and faster, i dont have reload my forge in the middle of a melt or waste a bunch of fuel when i run through my supply of cans. the only gripe i have is that i have to open the lid to add cans but thats my own fault for not checking the measurements on the opening in the lid. It comes with the crucible and tongs so if you have gloves, face protection, and propane you are ready to melt. I appreciate the placard with the different melting points of various metals on the front of the unit, maybe someday i will try to cast another material and im glad to know this will provide me that option in the future.

Awesome beginners foundry
It's great for beginners. The instructional video was very helpful. I enjoy using the product it works well and is easy to operate. If you're interested in casting metals this is a great beginner foundry. Remember to get all of your personal protective equipment to ensure you do get injured for an accident. But I love using mine. I believe it's fairly priced. If your thinking about getting it. I would buy it. I even recieved it before the estimate delivery date

Great Starter Package
I wanted to melt some scrap copper wire and had never done any metal casting before. The furnace package with an added 1 kg graphite mold was all I needed to buy (already had gloves, a faceshield and propane tank). At first I was worried as it got red hot but would not melt, I just needed to turn up the gas to full and open the air intake more (3/4" gap). With the settings correct it melted copper very quickly. My first pours went very well, pictured is after clean up with wire wheel.
