Great! Now you can hook up a tank of O2 and really get it going!
or how about acetylene? Is that too hot for this?
Too expensive- you could tone down the heat with the gas flow- but acetylene is expensive compared to coal, charcoal, or even propane.Quote:

I had planned on going to HD today but ran out of time. Tomorrow I guess.
Tested today. Works. Took forever to get a good fire going. It would burn out of charcoal before getting hot enough. Had to keep adding more and getting hot again.
Finally got it all going. Melted about 20 cans into a ingot poured into the coffee can. Shown sitting on top of the can in photo.
Had to make crucible out of steel square tube and welded a bottom on it.
Running the compressor a lot to keep airflow going was costly I'm sure. :) but was nice to vary the airflow to change heat level.
