Hi everyone.
I've built a small Coffee Can furnace to learn the basics of foundry work.

While I'm pretty sure there are better ways to do it, if it works, it works! My last casting run, some years ago, wound up pretty porous, so you did better than I did. Keep at it!

Not sure but it wasn't very much. The burners powerful so melts aluminium quite quickly....
