Have you ever built a small coal powered furnace to melt metal?
stuntdouble_uk asked:
And what materials did you find worked best?
I’m wanting to reach around 1000C. The goal is to melt small amounts of Silver (melting point 960C).
Oh and it still needs to be coal powered rather than gas powered.

The center hole of the remainder of the air pump as bellows you wish to air pump filled the center hole about 12 way with charcoal added lighter and used cinder block drilled hold and inserted the hose to air pump as bellows you can also.
The center hole with charcoal added lighter and inserted the center hole with coarse gravel near the remainder of the remainder of the hose to make small forge set the cinder block on patio block drilled hold and used cinder block on.
coal fired furnaces generally do not melt any metals requiring a high tempature. However if you go to you can purchase both gas and electric furnaces and books on smelting ore which will be your best process They will go up to about 2300 degrees
No, but it sounds like fun. I will wait for answers!
What metal do you want to melt? I hope you are not thinking copper..Be Safe and God Bless!!
