I have been using my Coleman 2 burner stove over the past couple of years for both smelting and casting. It worked just fine other than being a little un-economical. So I just recently bought a Lyman Big Dipper furnace to use for casting. The problem is I have to keep it set on maxine to keep my ladle/metal hot enough. I honestly thought it would have more reserve BTUs. Mt father-n-laws Lee 10# bottom drip does.
Was wondering if anyone else has this same issue or is mine just defective in that regard?
I actually had far less issues making boolits with the Coleman gas burner.
Thats what happens when one gets a little knowledge I suppose.
