Saw something similar on one of the back yard metal melting sites and thought I'd put one together.
"rabbit" wire mesh 1/2" opening
2" thick rock wool
short piece of 2" pipe, (electrical conduit)
Roofers propane torch
Old heat gun set to blow only air
2 hrs. of time.
I already had all the stuff so cost was zero.
You basically make a cylinder of the wire mesh, wrap it with rock wool, wrap the outside with more mesh. Make a square top and bottom. Cut a few holes for air flow and the torch and then you have a little furnace that gets real hot, real quick.
