CANALHOUT12.3KG Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucibles,Crucibles for Melting Metal,Withstand The High Temperature 1800℃(3272°F),Melting Casting Refining Aluminum Gold Silver Copper

Most only lasts for me around 5 pours. These last for 10 to 12 pours. I do melt brass and copper, so I have to get the temps up there really high. If I only use for cans, I am sure it would last much longer. I highly recommend this crucible.

Works exactly as described. No complaints!

The top edges of the crucible should of came rounded over. NOT full of burs. i have to clean off all these burs on top with a grinder or when i go to grab it out of the forge it will chip and drop pieces into my clean silver bars. kinda a pain

The media could not be loaded. Works great. I use mine to melt aluminum. Although, I feel pretty confident I can melt metals with higher melting points as well. The crucible has some minor degradation after a few uses in the furnace, but overall it’s not a big deal and I’m happy with its performance. The walls are of a good thickness and I think it will last.

The cucible that came with my Is smelting kit is made out of the basic cheaper materials. That's why when I ordered a new crucible i made sure It had ceramic in the title. When I got it home and opened it up i could Immediately and definitely tell the difference between the two. Between my old one in this new one. My old one was rough pourous and during a cleaning i, without pushing too hard, accidentally poked a hole in the bottom of it. This new one is super smooth on the inside outside and is thick enough to endure normal wear a possibly cleaning without falling apart! I do believe "ceramic" beingIncluded in the makeup of the crucible is what will make it endure in last while I smelt.

Good size. Worked great in the fire. Melted aluminum in it.

The Pro:The crucible looks solidly made, and has no chips or cracks. It would probably function well.The Con: I ordered a #8 crucible a while back and when I opened it (outside the return window), it wasn't a #8 crucible. I went to the seller's listing and checked the dimensions for their #8 crucible and they matched my existing #8, so I assumed that I had accidentally ordered the wrong one. I ordered another, double checked the dimensions of the #8, made sure that I ordered a #8, double checked it in my cart, double checked it in checkout, and ordered it. Received it today, opened it up and it was the wrong size again. I took it measured it, compared it to the previous one, they matched. Arrgh! I went to the seller's page again and checked the dimensions of the larger crucibles and found a match .... a #12 crucible! I wondered how they could make the same mistake again, so checked the plain cardboard box all over, and I found it. A small white sticker that was labeled CANALHOUT #8. So the boxes in their store room are mislabeled which is why they sent me the same crucible again. I am returning it for a refund since an exchange will only result in getting yet another crucible of the same size.5 Stars for the crucible, which appeared to be good quality, minus 2 stars for the seller's stocking problem.My guess is that the seller receives crucible shipments from the manufacturer, and trusts that the boxes are properly labeled, I know I did when I ordered it. Because they don't seem to know the problem exists, ordering another is crazy. I ordered the first over a month ago, and still had the same thing happen with my second order. If you order a crucible, when you receive it, immediately check to verify you were shipped the right size. That will require opening and visually verifying the dimensions. The problem is that there is no way to know which crucibles are mislabeled and therefore no way to know what to order. The #8 crucibles are, in my opinion, mislabeled on the part of the manufacturer and not the seller's fault. It is possible that only the #8 crucibles are mislabeled. They look like quality crucibles, I just can't take the chance that the box labeled #8 crucible, is actually a #8.

I really like how durable these crucibles are. I also like the fact that I'm not having to spend a lot of time scraping out stuck residue from a previous melt. This has definitely prolonged crucible life. I will absolutely be purchasing again. Great product.

The media could not be loaded. Ps me gustaria regresarlo pero no me deja

Had a big crack in the bottom from inside but not showing on the outside, also few piece flakes of the side of crack (inside) , is it a defect or its ok to use it and i dont need to be worry about it?
