Free Copper - Copper Bar from a Microwave Oven

Getting free copper is easy, Just find an old microwave oven.
Scrap copper is getting harder to find without the old tv's around, but microwaves are everywhere.
I recommend this Furnace.. http://amzn.to/2wr7G2k (Affiliate)

It uses Propane Gas which is much cheaper to run with no problems like burning out the element and gives you better options for crucibles like stainless steal or cast iron which last a long time.

Pouring copper ingots is my hobby, I have sold a few on ebay at 6x the scrap copper value, so there is a market for hand poured copper bars.

For melting copper, brass, aluminium, I recommend making a home made style furnace, one that is bigger so you can use a large cast iron crucible that lasts forever, electric furnaces use graphite crucibles that wear out quickly when melting copper, this furnace is best for gold/silver melting where you don't need to max out the temp'.

There's no need to make copper bars if your just selling to a scrap yard, in some cases you get less if you melt milberry, a pure copper bar is graded as candy copper, or #2.

Keep Scrapping & Have Fun!
