Geo,
The picture on the site you linked is hard to be sure but they offer two types, you want the high back crucible. I think, and again it may be the angle of the photo, the one in the picture is not a high back, the picture I posted is what you want.
The high back crucibles look like the crucible was laid on its side in a miter saw and cut at a 45 degree angle. When you place the flame it should be directed off center and towards the high side aiming down into the crucible so the flame bounces off the high wall and spirals down. The flame will heat the powder and continue in a circular pattern until it contacts the high back wall again, apparently the height helps contain the powder.
Practice with gold powder or silver crystal before you move on to the Palladium.
I just went back to the website, the one selected in the link is the low form, if you select product options and click on high back you can see the difference.
