When propane is used, the furnace uses a little more than one gallon per hour. There is 96,000 BTU's in one gallon of propane.

Furnaces do not get hot enough to melt borosilica (Pyrex) glass, just soft glass.

Gas fired crucible furnaces are high maintaince! The high temperature and spilled glass breaks down insulating materials. You will be relining the walls, replacing bricks on the base, and patching up the lid.We sell all of the materials for you to do this. It is just part of the game when using glassblowing equipment.

Yes crucibles crack. Sometimes we get 30 firings out of one and sometimes just 3. Calculate it in the cost of each firing. Slower heating and cooling really prolongs the life of crucibles.
