DIY Melting Furnace, Thoughts ideas and plans?

Hello all, I just recent purchased and burnt out a Vevor electric melting furnace. Don't worry I only paid 50 bucks for it. I loved it even got a couple of copper bars (3) out of it before it stopped heating up. So now I plan to build my own. I'm starting with 16 AWG - Kanthal A1 Resistance Wire. from what I'm reading 14 AWG would be better/last longer but the 16 awg will get the job done. Also, what controller do I use? Any links or name drops would be great. I'm located just outside of NYC if that helps.

What is the best Electric Metal Furnace?

Good day all, I recently purchased a MF 3000 (Vevor?) off of Facebook and it was brand new and burnt out after the third pour. I don't wish to make that same mistake again. I have a propane one but don't like the gas and fire. I would much rather have a controlled electric furnace. Let me know which one is the best bang for my buck and why.

Mf 3000 melting furnace wont go above 26c. Help i just bought the dam thing.

Pretty much as the title says. I bought it and I got 3 pours out of it than we had a power outage due to a thunder storm and now 26c is as high as it will go. Is there a reset button or do I need to replace a part? Any help would be great.

Kayla

So I've now seen Kayla (Jewel Staite) in firefly and The Magcians (as a Librian). What else is she in and does she talk about masterbating in every show she is in?

Started a new collection by accident
