How to melt aluminum cans at home

How to melt aluminum cans at home... by melting metal in a fire pit. This is aluminum, and I made a small yard token.

It's really cheap and easy to do with a foundry. I'm only going to do this a couple times for fun, so no need to pay for expensive gear for me.

Watch out, because with #BillandTed3 coming out, things are going to be even more stocked!

this is soo good, i tried this instead of using my crucible I bought for $300 and it work just as well, no waste of propane, just wood and wind on fire, saved soo much money not using propane

Sounds like a young, carefree Darth Vader. Who knew he was into recyling!

I feel like when people say "Don't try this at home", they are talking to people like you and I, but we do it anyway. Thanks for sharing, awesome pour! Soo stoked for Keanu!

This is what we call a good YouTuber, heck he even sings a wonderful song in the start of the video!

A leaf blower works really well stoking the flames 👍

I’ve watched other people do this before but seeing how silly and fun you are at doing this makes me realize how stupid easy it is to do. Thx!

I built a charcoal foundry and I use a tiy can. The charcoal can also be used to purify slag and candy wrappers and most steel crucibles are one time use only so you are basically using not only the cheapest but the more efficient way too! Electric arc and coal could reach a high enough temperature to even melt steel.

I burned a hole in my a can.

Edit: I burned a hole in another can.

Sweet. Now I can take a aluminum trinket home after camping instead of 3 black bags full of cans.
