Fire Bricks are pretty cheap at most building supply stores. Heat source can be electric, gas, even solar if your real inventive. Also a good idea to install some sort of temperature gauge! | |||

I'll post a picture in a few days. I had one made out of 10" diameter pipe (48" long) welded on top of a tractor disc with holes drilled in it. There is a cover for the top with a flue to regulate temperature, and a thermometer fitting in the side. It goes on top of one of those turkey fryer heat sources hooked up to a propane tank. The barrels hang from hooks in the lid. I do small parts in the kitchen stove - No Pizzas in the oven!! | |||

I have a question...how do you handle the smaller parts that need to be coated/heated? Can you just lay them on something like a screen? Just wondering. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

I went to Lowes and bought a 4' piece of stove pipe and an end cap. I hung the barrel or barreled action from a wire through the end cap and stood the assembly up on a piece of flat plate (an iron skillet works but you'll have to re-season it) on my Coleman stove. I poked my lead casting thermameter through the side to monitor the temp. About 6 bucks all-out. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Once they were dry I just set them on a cookie sheet in the oven. Stinks. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

I take the small part and use fine wire to make a hook. Then hank them from the rack in the wifes oven. Never tried just putting them on a cookie sheet. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
