That leads to the next question. Can you get coal? The lumps should be bigger than your hand. Bernd |

Plenty of coal but I dont know if I can buy it as it is probably outlawed in this 'green' town. :scratch: |

Rob Having been around molten metal for the first ten years of my working life I used to work at Stanton ,part of Stanton and Staveley ( I am a sparks ) we had blast furnaces x6 and more small cupola's than I can count , plus in the latter years induction furnaces from 750kw to 1.5 mw My point consider a few vent holes in the drop base to vent the refractory are you going to use lime stone as a flux along with two level taping holes. as you can guess seeing iron casting inc ductile ( with the magnesium flare ) was common place , the finest casting was to cast nuts and bolts that screwed together without any machining good luck with the project , bet it will have a 20 foot flame on blow down before the bottom is dropped Stuart |
