And NOT Dancing! I bought a new RCBS furnace about a year ago. Used it some, but finally moved it indoors off the patio when winter hit. And the pour spout clogged up on me. I couldn't clear it, so I sent it back to RCBS for them to fix it - and they sent me a New One! Way to go, RCBS! But - now THAT one is clogged! I cranked it up full blast, 850 degrees, poked around from below with a safety pin, put a 1/16" drill in a small pin vice I have & drilled a hole (by hand!) all the way through the clog, torched with a butane torch, tried to completely clear, spun Phillips screwdrivers from above, I know the temp in the spout MUST have been over 1000 degrees, and No Joy. What am I recommended to do NOW??? I feel that most of the current problem is my fault - the ingots I loaded had been on the ground (dirt - my smelting table collapsed due to snow piling up, then melting and soaking the wood)) and may have carried some dirt into the mix. If so, I thought the dirt would have floated up to the top. And I really don't think dirt would fuse into the clog I am experiencing. What say, Guys?
(I never had a problem with my old SAECO furnaces, but they won't get up over 700 now, and a couple of my molds like it hot)
