It's a few years since I made this, and about two and a half since I used it. Its just a large piece of pipe, the bottom is a piece of stainless, bottom pour. But since I joined the forum I got fired up from see the other smeltes post here so I went out and fired up mine and melted down about 150 lbs of w/weights into ingots over two days.

Here you can see the gas flame.

Use propane and 2 to 3 lbs of compressed air makes a very hot flame.
From seeing the others , I will be making a few changes to this one in the near future.
