vtsteam Thank you for posting your cupola photos I thought you might be interested in my photos of it running. |

Wow, very interesting stuff, ironman!! :clap: It looks like you are preheating your ladle with oil from your pressurized re-purposed propane tank, or is that really propane? And the extensions are really interesting. I had thought that if my little single charge cupola didn't work out, that maybe I could just add an extension -- and here you've already done that kind of thing. :bow: I know you're probably busy, but if you ever do get a chance I would really like to see a video of how you make your cores with Portland cement. I just mean a simple cylindrical core. I had real difficulty trying to keep a Portland cement core intact while removing from the core box. Maybe you just let it cure in the core box? Anyway, back to your cupola.......fantastic! That's a lot of iron. I was hoping to manage up to a ten pound pour, myself! |

That is a monster! By the way - Browne's Dairy called and they want their crates back! |
| ironman:
The ladle preheater uses propane. With your portland cement cores rap them a little and then let them set before removing the core. I will make a video about that in the near future. I thought Browne's Dairy didn't want them any more. |
