Mr
So this kit is pretty damn good! Only thing is you will want other tongs for the crucible for lifting and pouring

Erittäin ammattimaisen näköinen laite. Uskon sen toimivan hyvin. Todella hieno kaasumittaristo, josta näkee molemmat, pullon ja kaasun letkupaineen.

Cumple las expectativas, lo único malo que puedo decir por sacar alguna pega es que el molde que trae el pack es pequeño para producir lingotes pero por lo demás es perfecto en tamaño y funcionalidad, he fundido cobre y aluminio sin problemas ( usando propano) un consejo, la alcachofa que compres para la botella de gas debe de ser sin limitador.

Decent product with huge potential, also large flaws
If this is modified into a postbox forge, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
The 12 kg furnace (probably the 6kg as well, though I have not used it) has serious potential and a few serious drawbacks.
The stainless shell is good, it could have been better but for the price point it is quite good. All of the materials used are pretty standard and so of expected quality. The Kaowool/Inswool is exactly what Id expect as are the firebricks. The burners work as expected.
Basically, for the price this is a good purchase. But it does have some very serious, but fixable flaws.
The Inswool fabric was unsealed. This is actively dangerous to your lungs, it should be sealed behand some kind of refractory. I used Satanite, it worked perfectly. Ridgidizer is a temporary fix, use a refractory.
It comes with a pair of tongs that are actually very dangerous to use. If you use them to pull the crucible out of the furnace, you will put point stress on the crucible and potentially break it while it is full of molten metal. Proper lifting tongs and a second pair of proper pouring tongs would be a very wise investment.
When running the two burners, the fuel draw is faster than a small 20lb propane bottle can supply continuously. The single bottle begins freezing, the flames begin pulsing and the flame head can travel into the feed pipes, putting the flame head right at the brass tip of the torch. You will need to chain two bottles or get a larger bottle either should fix this by increasing the gas flow.
The burners do not have an air choke, forcing you to have the gas pressure high to keep the flame head inside the furnace. A simple piece of pipe slid over the air intakes would allow you to throttle the flame better.
Finally, I turned mine into a postbox forge by cutting some holes in the sides, a little down from the lid and bending the metal skin down as a shelf. I doubled the Inswool and lined it with Satanite. I shaped the Satanite around the burners to integrate the flare into the refractory, so I didn't have to modify the depth of the burners. It works fantastically.

Fonderie d'art
L'équipement est bien conçu, cela pourrait être plus massif mais donc plus lourd, l'inox fait le travail escompté.
La laine de céramique fournie résiste à la chaleur mais ne la conserve pas. Pour optimiser l'inertie de la chaleur au sein du creuset, car il est nécessaire pour monter à haute température, il serait préférable de fournir l'enduit réfractaire, celui que j'ai posé ici résiste à une température de 1600°C, il n'est pas facile à se procurer et assez coûteux, il m'aura fallu 3 kg.
Il est également nécessaire de fabriquer ou bien de se procurer du matériel solide et fiable, tel que les pinces, car utiliser la fonderie en versant du métal en fusion sans celà pourrait rapidement s'avérer dangereux. Pour le reste chacun fera en son âme et conscience en fonction de son usage relatif...

Definitely works, however
The handle will fail. It may be fast, maybe slow. But it's inevitable.
Everything works great on this unit, including the propane control, along with the manual air shutter that is sturdy. Solid , Stainless Steel construction.
Another downer, the refractory needs to be addressed. Two ways: 1. Refractory cement. 2. There is a pink spray out there that would save time, money, and weight! And it is easy to reapply!
Refractory cement is awesome, but requires rebuilding g occasionally.
