This little kiln melts brass and silver very quickly and the crucible holds more than the hand held melting dishes that I had been used to. Furthermore, the graphite crucible retains its heat much longer than my old melting dishes giving me plenty of time to re-adjust the tongs and get a great pour without the metal leaving liquidous. I'm very pleased and quite impressed with this little kiln. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it's too early to tell how durable it will be over time. How long will it last? If you're good at making things, you can buy everything you need to make one yourself for a few dollars at your local hardware store. I absolutely love the product. It's easier, safer and faster than holding a melting dish in one hand and a melting torch in the other. In fact, it's totally hands free. I love it!Read full review

This is a cute extra tiny little kiln, think 1 or two rings worth if metal with a sprue. Certainly won't be casting any decent sized peices. That said, its what i needed for a small charm set and thats ok. What annoys me are two things, 1. PMC cheaps out on the metal casing, junky sheet metal with laughable hose clamps, really? Ok, 2. No hinge. 3. Instructions refer to spacer to use with the kiln if you use a taller crucible. No spacer in box. I could diy a better kiln by far for 1/3 the cost at most, but infortunately time is a constraint so it's more economical to buy this toy kiln for tiny melts and casts. It will explode, for sure, if you drop it on a hard surface or knock it over so thats a concern as well. Should cost 50 bucks at most.

The product is as exactly as I thought it would be, very satisfied with the purchase. If you are a gold prospector and looking to refine your gold, I highly recommend the Kwik Kiln.
