Comments

Tina: This stick may have been better suited for only stirring coffee... and I'd be hesitant if you added cream and sugar, as that could possibly make the coffee too thick. This stir stick broke on the VERY first stir of my very first aluminum backyard smelt. A nice sized tree branch probably would have lasted longer than this graphite stick did.

Blake Gunn: Before you use it got have to heat it up to remove all the moisture from it after you know that there's no moisture in it you have to heat it up red hot hotter than the temperature that you're going to subject it to later. After it cools then you're now ready to use it as a stirring stick.

Buddy: Works great, molten material doesn't stick to it too badly. Slag does stick a little, so this is indeed a decent way to remove slag from your melt.

12 inches simply isn't long enough. Even with two layers of heavy duty leather gloves, this thing still conducts enough heat to come close to burning you. Also, working with less than 12 inches between you and your furnace is a "get it done quick" endeavor.

Would still buy again, but would like to see a thicker 18-24 inch version in the future.
