I melted enough to of made two of the parts that I was after plus fill all the gating. I always run both oil an gas when melting iron the propane gives the burner the kick that takes it into a reasonable amount of time instead of it taking all day.
what doesn't go in the mold gets poured into the ingot mold some 2 inch angle iron that I have welded up to make 4 inch long ingots out of. I find that size works in all my crucibles except for the little one then I need some thing like 1/2 inch rod cut up into 1.5 inch pieces.
