Do these actually work and last for more then a few melts?

I have prefab one at home, been using it for the last 10 years, here in east europe they sell them for around $ 40 new, you can melt almost any metal with them, things like bronze are easy peasy and if you want to work with steel etc, still okeish it gets it pink hot, a lot of electricity consumption tho, which gets to the point that you are asking for the gas powered ones, that I have no experience with, but they will work for sure, its up to you to keep the maintenance right and take good care of it.

why wouldn't they, the concept is the same as any other foundry you could make or buy

Thanks, we are talking about thousand degree fires here so I wanted to be sure it was safe.

I made one using the video and it works pretty well. I've melted a good amount of aluminum down. I have a hard time keeping the flame sometimes but I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm a tard.
