I'll stick with what I have, I've watched a lot of thread where people try to stick a heat reclaimer/ preheater on a hobby furnace and they all die sooner or later. not saying it won't work just too much trouble for something the size of my furnace, and that much more that I would have to drag out of the shed and too put back.
now if I had a cupola with say a 12 to 14 inch bore, there might be a reason for doing it, but its still a lot of work for a little gain on a crucible furnace in my eyes, and unlike California I don't have to worry about burning flue gasses or do constant stack monitoring (good thing on that as I don't have a stack)
