    If I use enough insulation do you think it’s still possible to have one this size?
    Heck. YES!

    Outer layer is 19 inches across, with my large burner this thing melts alum faster than I can keep up with feeding the crucible. Word of caution though : the extra fire pot and air causes some increased scaling rate using steel crucibles, so I would suggest getting a large graphite one.
