"A muffle furnace (sometimes, retort furnace) in historical usage is a furnace in which the subject material is isolated from the fuel and all of the
products of combustion including gases and flying ash." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffle_furnace
i think most of us could use one of these babies

I've got my inert gas kiln for most of these situations.

It's just a small electric kiln with an Argon gas tap on it. It's only capable of about 2000F.

What is a kiln? Something like this?
I saw once a small vertical muffle furnace made with pink-colored alumina with a similar shape and with a lid too, but without outer metalic case and
switches...

Generally, a muffle furnace burns an air-gas mixture, that allows it to achieve high temperatures. I had a jeweler friend that used his to melt
Silver for casting. It allowed him to melt several pounds of Silver at a time. His furnace ran on compressed air and methane (natural gas, aka wall
gas). This product is piped into many homes in America, and it is pretty inexpensive. With a compressor, a source of natural gas, and a muffle
furnace....you can inexpensively melt and cast metals on a semi-industrial scale. If you don't have "in house" natural gas.....Propane will do.
