Home smelter?

[Okiedigger]

I've been reading up on smelting and would like to give it a go, but I'm not sure where to start. I'd like to build a smelter, but was wondering if anyone here had experience with it or where I could buy the pieces I need online somewhere. I'm not looking to go big, but something I can do on the back porch or in my work shop and be fairly portable. Any ideas? Hints? Sorry if this has been posted somewhere else, but I wasn't finding it.

Here is a link to how to make a propane furnace out of a metal bucket and Type S High Strength Mortar.

I know the guy that posted this and I have seen the furnace work.

Have fun and be safe!

Thats NOT a propane furnace its a charcoal furnace.

He later converted it to propane, which he posted the converted version on his forum BearfootGold (no longer online)but it just a matter of one hole in the side down at the bottom for a propane burner.
