Bill Ferguson stocks utility furnaces that are similar to plumbers’ furnaces. The main difference is the venturi-type burner. This type burner is adjustable and puts out a hot (43,200 BTU), quiet soft flame. When working in a basement or garage, the roar associated with plumbers’ furnaces is nonexistent.

The utility furnace will melt up to 80 pounds of bullet metals. It is great for melting wheelweights or mixing large batches of favorite recipes. Pour directly from the pot to ingot moulds or try one of Bill’s Rowell Bottom Pour Ladles.
