Product Information

Includes kiln, custom refining flux, (4) 40gr '1 shot' Crucibles*, 18" Tongs, (1) Stainless Steel Stirring Rod, Instruction Manual & Smelting Tips. Pouring mold not included.



* '1 shot' clay crucibles actually last for several smeltings, as long as no flux gets on the outside (flux on the inside is good, as it coats the crucible and helps it to last longer).

Much research and experimentation has gone into the design of this kiln, to ensure the best results for separating fine gold from black sand and ore concentrates - and for smelting down old jewelry. The stacked or layered design allows for replacement of damaged pieces, in the event of spills, while the kiln can be rearranged and stacked to different heights, according to the size (height) crucible used.
