Andrew thanks!  :beer:

also, re poP and iron, according to Steve Chastain, plaster of Paris is used commercially for insulative sprue and riser liners for iron, not iron foundry furnace linings. I wasn't suggesting that. I assume those are single use applications.

Iron melting wasn't the intention from the start with this furnace -- non ferrous melting was the spec. Worked fine for that. I have my other furnace for iron.

vtsteam:
Form removed, lid is done.
