Small Furnace
Big fire comes in small furnaces

---

Well, once I decided that a pile of firebricks and some coal wasn't going to cut it as a furnace, I began to look for annother option. What I found was...


I had a propane can sitting around doing nothing because it had an old-style valve so no one would fill it, and not even the guys at the propane place could get this valve off of here. This will make a perfect furnace body!


Here is the body of the furnace, cut and ready for forms and cement.I decided to go with the can upside-down for some reason.


Here's the top, waiting for cement. The wire is a high-strength, high temp lockwire.


Here it is filled with refractory. I used a homemade formula that is essentially Lionel's "2 Bucks" formula. The reason I went with the conical exhaust hole is because I ran out of cement!


Here is a picture of the finished body. I've already run this several times, so that's why it already looks burned in.


Time to melt somthing!
