What type of tongs do you use to remove the crucible?

The furnace can get as hot as 1700c with the right fuel and air mixture.
i made my own tongs. They are designed to grip the wall of the crucible.
Thanks

This is my second pic of running the furnace. I have turned the oil and air up. You can,t see the molten copper because of the extreme heat output. I could probably run it hotter than this.
