Here is the beast. Note the side chimney. The gasses have to actually go down and out, like a kiln. I suppose its good for efficiency, but you can't see the melt or add metal without opening the lid.

A New Crucible Furnace
I good friend of mine called recently and told me he had a crucible furnace for me! Well, it has arrived. Its a Johnson 510. If you have any manuals and whatnot, please comment!
The blower. I assume the open pipe is where the gas line attaches. There is a valve right below it.
Pilot burner/ignitor?
The furnace has 2 main burners on tangents. The one visible here is slightly lower.
Chamber is 9.5" wide and 11" deep.
Furnace no. 510

I’m amazed that this small cubicle furnace is actually capable of producing 120,000 BTU! A furnace that has a higher BTU rating also has a higher cooling capacity. That’s a very efficient furnace, if you ask me.

That's one efficient furnace! It has a crucible, and could be used for aluminum. This kind of furnace will serve you for a long time. Good luck!
