The way that stuff was burning when you poured it makes me think it was a high magnesium content alloy you melted there ... any bits of a VW transmission went into that?
That's a nice furnace. I like the brickwork. What is the whole furnace and building meant for though? Is it for aluminum casting or cooking(at lower temps haha cook bread at 1200 degrees)
that was awesome

@jdat747 It did have a gm T350 autotrans case in the alum pour. Good call.

Build an enormous bellows and get some forced air in there! It would make a nice blast furnace!
