You are not letting the end of your burner protrude into the hot part of the furnace are you? I keep the end of the flair back slightly into the refractory of the side of the furnace so it runs cooler. And I pull the burner from the furnace if it is not lit, otherwise it tends to overheat from residual furnace heat. |

What in the world are you two talking about? |
| vtsteam:
A nearly empty 13 pound propane tank is probably the problem. A small barbecue tank in the states is about twice that size. The last of your propane in that small tank chilled very rapidly. |

Went and got me 25lbs (11kg) propane tank today.. went with the aluminium one, i was told they are easier to sustain temperature on. I have a heating blanket running on 12V i thought i would wrap it in. |

You really need a 3-phase power supply for a decent sized induction furnace, and a pocket full of money too. An oil burner is a poor man's induction furnace. --- End quote --- Have you checked these: http://www.fluxeon.com/Roy1200open.html ?? They should theroticaly scale quite well or just run 3 of them at the same time with overlapping coils.. |
