In the morning I am purchasing the last bits for making my furnace but will need to find some place that has info on making the lpg burner. I will be melting aluminium so would like a natural aspirated burner. Any sites would be appreciated as when I google I get too many hits and would prefer links that you people like

why propane ? its always hard to use up a bottle , and if you pull too much gas out too fast , they freeze over ?

Diesel burner (http://www.alloyavenue.com/vb/showthread.php?7647-Diesel-burner&highlight=diesel+burner)
is my diesel burner , its good for aluminium with a #10A crucible , not enough air flow for copper alloys , so am about to make a new Waist Motor Oil burner for copper , well the above burner is running straight WMO at the moment test my new plans , and is melting copper

if you do start too use that forum , they will expect you to have read this Foundry Tutorial Book (http://www.alloyavenue.com/vb/showthread.php?2469-Foundry-Tutorial-Book)

just so you dont ask the same questions that were asked every 2 days before ^^^that page was written

Thanks for that Mr Sniffer :D It would have taken me days or weeks to find that site. I'm starting with the furnace shown in this site and if I like what I do with it I may look at other metals for melting. For now small steps to get the experience.

Good forum that. Lots of good info. I had a look at your post on your furnace Sawdust, looks like you are getting it working well.
