yeah I guess that's a good fucking point, even if I was to rig something up to isolate it every time i'd lift the lid we'd get plumes of smoke.
shame, I was warming up to the idea of having a use for it.

Though I suppose I could still use it as a cold smoker

if the rain didnt run down my outside wall my place would probably have big smoke stains from some of the shit I do in this non-smoking building.
I guess at least i'm not smoking, but it gives me doubts that any of the monoxide detectors in the building work since i've lived here for years now.

I forgot just how big this thing is though it's like 2 feet wide and pretty thick steel, pretty heavy even while empty, I have no doubt it could handle the heat, though the legs are a little rickety for my liking since they're collapsible and has hollow plastic wheels.

I don't think I need to really get up to up to actual ambient 800c, 850c+ direct should be plenty since it holds heat pretty well, so a torch should be plenty, but this thing at the very least should come in handy as a safe work surface incase I spill any molten salt Failing that i'd use my roast pan on top of my stove which could be alright

actually yeah i'll use the stove top, theres cleaning/air grates in the bottom salt would leak out of into the light-weight mystery-metal dish

however I think my main issue would still be the molds and crucible

what temperature do you think a cheap ceramic coffee cup could get to before it explodes?
I'm going to guess 799c, almost there but not quite enough. Not sure where my damn mineral oil is either, I usually use dish soap when sharpening knives
don't really wanna use plaster of paris or something for something else that is
