I couldn't even tell you how many kilos of gold (up to 2 ozt at a time) I melted in my 10 years of refining with the TS4000 torch

Mostly 1 ozt melts as most of my buyers wanted 1 ozt bars but had one buyer that liked 2 ozt bars

How I melted my gold --- used a single burner camp stove - on top of that set a piece of expanded metal that the melt dish set on --- by preheating the melt dish from the bottom with the camp stove it decreased (sped up) the torch melt time as the torch wasn't doing all the work to get the dish up to temp to melt the gold

In other words - camp stove heating from bottom of dish - torch heating from top = less melt time

Very good idea, thanks for the tip!
