I started to melt some Cast Iron today

make a reminder to not screw up like this again, the crucible will be ok I think. the way I see it is that the crucible can't shrink faster then the iron cools off. I've had some pretty heavy buildup in that crucible from melting iron in it and the stuff almost always pops loose, the one thing it does do is it causes the crucible wall to thin a little every time I use it but thats just part of the game.

now I just gotta fire back up and see what I can mess up next after I get some propane, already have fuel oil, good thing I get paid this wenesday.
