This is a great little crucible, especially if you're doing little projects in your house. A word of advice, one crucible per type of metal. So don't mix metals and you'll be fine. This is made out of graphite. It comes with a little graphite mold and graphite stir rod.

Nice l little sets for small Meeks, the graphite stirring rods don't hold up the best depending on the temperature but for the price it's worth it.

Finally showed up, postal strike is over in Canada. Everything showed up not broken, always good, not sure if my stirring stick broke or not, it's now in two pieces, probably did.

I dropped some items on the crucible that came with my furnace and broke it. This was a decent replacement. It fit right and handled the aluminum scrap I threw at it.

I like the kit, the graphite bar mold is well worth the price, and you get a crucible and rod. They pack the rod in a plastic tube. The rod breaks off eventually with enough caked metal on the end, It is a disposable item. The mold is sturdy but does not survive too many drops on the floor so be gentle with it. It does survive grinding with Dremel. The crucible is big enough for Brass and Copper and low temp metals like tin.

My husband loves the quality and price of the three-piece graphite crucible ingot mold stir rod kit that I got him. This equipment is perfect for the tiny smelting projects my husband has been working on. Since the 1 KG clay graphite crucible is lightweight and well-made, he can control the pour more effectively than he could with his larger pot.Another great feature that has significantly improved the quality of his castings is the graphite torch smelting casting ingot mold. The supplied graphite stir rod is a sensible addition, allowing for exact mixing and impurity removal.What he appreciates most is that this kit is a great investment because it includes all the materials required for small-scale projects at an affordable price. This collection is a great addition to his workshop because each piece's overall quality and usefulness have exceeded his expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking at completing small smelting projects!

I was able to nearly melt 10 pennies at home with a under-qualified torch in the crucible here before my torch melted. A warning for new users getting into this, the skim rod(stir rod?) Will get hot when using it for more than 10 seconds or so. Make sure that you have proper personal protection including gloves and eye protection.The quality of the crucible seems pretty nice. There is a bit of dust that easily comes off onto your hands when handling it upon arrival, so be careful when handling it.As far as I'm aware, this is a good crucible. I have not had any experience with any in the past, bit these seemed to work great!

This kit is solid for anyone looking to get into smelting. The stir rod is a standout—sturdy and well-made, perfect for stirring molten metal. I’m excited to fire up the furnace and put it to use!However, a few things to keep in mind: the crucible doesn't have a coating, so the graphite rubs off on everything. Be sure to handle it with gloves, or you’ll end up with stained fingers. The crucible also lacks a pour spout, and the top isn’t completely smooth, which might cause some issues when pouring. Ideally, it would have included tongs to safely handle the crucible.Overall, it's a good kit with a few minor drawbacks, but it’s still a great value for anyone eager to get started with smelting!
