can you use a propane torch and melt gold

Propane torch will go up to 1650 F and gold melts at 1950 F. You can melt Gold with a MicrowaveGold Melting Kiln or a crucible,torch and a manually air blown steel pipe which raise the temp to melting point.

I thimk it is posdible to melt gold by directing the flame into the pot. But it really comes down to how hot your torch is.

I have answered this question earlier " Propane torch will go up to 1650 F and gold melts at 1950 F.

Yes, you can use heat, on the lower settings.. It won't melt it ,or burn it in the least, as long as you are careful, and watch what you're doing. :)

It can easily take the temperatures needed to melt lead (621.5°F). Whether it be over a fire from burning wood or propane. It is made from cast iron which melts at 2800°F I hope this helps you. I have enjoyed mine though lead can be a challenge to get on a tight budget.

Are you asking about aluminum? If so, it melts at around 1200 degrees much to hot for most electric pots. You will have to search for a gas forge for any quantity of aluminum. The do make small electric furnaces for jewelry making for silver and gold, but they only melt a few ounces, maybe up to 10 ounces for so.

I'm sure you could..but you'd be heating a very large area..I would use a solder gun to melt old solder..which is typically 700 to 750 degrees..

The melting point of gold is 1,948°F. The FX=901 high temp is 600 degrees F. Answer no this will not melt gold! It did OK with solder for a small job.

I wouldn't because this one puts off more propane fumes. For that I would use a Mr. Heater. It is a radiant heater with almost no fumes.

If you mean an oven it should be fine. I have a gas oven. .it should not matter if it's propane or not.

Yes, but it costs extra and does not work well. Small flame size and icing up of propane bottle. Also hard to clean. I returned mine to Costco.

No it does not. Gold requires close to 2000 degrees F to melt. This hot pot is mainly for lead, which melts at a much lower temperature of 620 degrees F. It melts lead great! I can liquify a 1lb lead ingot in just a few minutes from a cold start.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

This furnace does not get hot enough to melt gold and silver. It is designed for lead which melts at a much lower temperature.

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

I can not speak for Camp Chef, but as someone who knows about gas/propane yes you could. The burners will not burn at the same temp as the manufacture intended (meaning the BTU rating) There is a fifferent size orfice between gas and propane. Propane burns hotter there for the orfice is smaller then a NG or natural gas. The BTU would be lower for the burner then what it would be for propane. High would be Med, Med would be Low, and etc.

Yes it does. The only thing the Platinum has over the Gold is the Electronic Touch-N-Go™ gas ignition system. Reviews on that system are pretty mixed and the price premium isn't worth it to me. The Gold is definitely the best deal. Just use a starter chimney and you'll be fine. Happy grilling!

with the right adapter probable. but if you are going to use this to do soldering. propane will not reach a hot enough temp to get the silver tin solder to flow.

Caleb, if it was sheet metal (thin) with mapp gas, maybe, For me I would try to pickup a small oxy-acetylene used set, much hotter flame and you can use it for brazing, welding, cutting, and heating.
