We have fun melting beer and soda cans and pouring into a muffin pan to make fake coins for the kids to play card games with. Been using it for years now, so holds up to the test of time.

so one thing to always remember and that is to temper the crucible as not doing this will possibly cause the crucible to fail so if done then your good to go as this crubile already worked great on 3 big copper melts and still looks great
THE CRUCIBLE EXPLODED
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024
I haven’t had the crucible for more than a day before it broke. I was melting an aluminum can (which the product said it was able to handle) and right when the can started to melt, the whole thing just detonated for no observable reason. I had the crucible stationed in the middle of a propane fire pit, and less than 15 minutes on the flame and it just shattered, flung broken pieces all over, and almost splashed half-molten aluminum on me. In summary, this product broke less than a day since it was in my possession, I got too excited with it and heated it up too quickly.

I bought 2 of these for a propane fueled furnace. One for copper/brass and another for zinc/lead.BE SURE TO PREHEAT THEM BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME. Bake @ 250 on a cookie sheet for about 2 hours.The first one has survived 10+ firings with no signs of damage. The zinc oxide from overheating brass didnt phase it at all. I flip them upside down and lightly tap them on a fire brick to dump the scrap/slag after pouring and have yet to even see a chip in the rim.The second one has survived 5 lead/zinc pours. I needed a fast pour rate so I took a triangular file and widened the spout. The graphite files away very easily.Comparing these to some other clay/graphite crucibles, it seems these have a very high graphite content with very little clay. Im impressed with the durability. There are no signs of crazing or cracking which would normally start showing up on crucibles with a high amount of clay.*NOTE* these will barely fit in a King of Random forge with about a 1/4-1/2 inch gap all around and you will need to use a pair of pliers to pull it out. Lifting tongs wont fit.

These crucibles are great for melting copper or aluminum, they are extremely strong and have not cracked at all. Ive used the same one for about 10 burns so far the only deformation is some bubbling on the exterior. Other than the minor cosmetic flaw they are great for all your melting needs.

Solid crucible. Doesn't get hot quickly or stay hot for a long time. It seems to not retain heat when I pull it from the fire for my pours and takes a long time to reheat. The #6 foundry clay crucible has been way better. It holds double the aluminum and gets hot 3x faster. Holds it's heat for a better and more consistent pour.
