)Ībout the author's mention of charcoal briquettes they do win out over lump charcoal in terms of ease of acquisition but they also produce much, much more ash relative to volume consumed, have the potential clog your furnace mid-run and to produce slag (coke and coal are much worse when it comes to clogs/clinkers) at brass melting temps due to the presence of clay binders used to hold the briquettes together. Or, you could take the lazy path and just get a lid for your crucible. Do you spend more time picking up casings than you do shooting Tired of burning yourself or your shooting partner with hot brass Picking up your brass is. It may be a little burn, but to lose composure and start dancing around could be fatal. Sitting in a Humvee while the machine gun on top is tearing a seam into hell is an experience - hot brass and links raining down into the passenger. Give it a rinse and once it dries out, you'll have a good grade of coke. Best to teach a new shooter to prepare for it in case it happens. You can expect to have less heat transfer than when you use polymer cased ammunition than the brass casings. Polymer is a material that provides insulation. A pinch or two of borax and heat to liquid, add more shells as needed. If you shot a brass cased bullet, the ejected casing is likely to be hot due to the fact that the brass material is heat-conducting.

I usually just put an iron cup on the forge and cram it full of brass shell casings.

Alternately, you can start a coal fire in a container and when the coal you can see on top of the fire turns white, dump the whole mess into a tub of water. Nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly ejected shell casing landing right on your skin after a perfectly place shot down range. I smelt and cast rifle and pistol brass into knife guard shapes and then file and grind to finish.45 brass is my favourite. If you can secure a coal (ideally anthracite) supply, coking it is easy enough -the process is similar to making charcoal via distillation method.
