Hello.

I want to make a cheap furnace which is capable fo melting brass.
First time doing this so it must be as simple and as cheap as
posible. It should be gas fueled as I can't get away with loads of
smoke and mess in my small garden.

Google "reil burner" , built from off-the-shelf fittings . Stick it in a
Gingery type furnace built into a five gallon steel bucket . Buy a crucible
on ebay .
Check out ABANA (artist blacksmith ass'n of north america , I think it is)
for ideas of alternative furnace designs .
