Hello my name is Rod Triplett and have owned several pawnshops over the last 32 years. I have always just sent my scrap to refiners and gotten paid. Now I am more interested in smelting my own and possibly getting into the refining area. So just learning, making mistakes and hoping to get some help on this chat room. I have just purchased a furnace that goes to 2200f and have done 3 pours now. All of my education has come from youtube and have learned a lot in just three pours. The only thing I have smelted so far was silver quarters (don't worry they were all worthless as coins.) My biggest issue right now are these huge craters on both sides of the bar. What is causing these? I am looking forward to reading these posts and learning how to smelt professionally!!
