Abstract
A crucible assembly is suited for use melting aluminum cans at a campfire or similar fire. The crucible assembly may include a handle design that facilitates safe and easy handling of the crucible after it has been heated and contains melted aluminum. The crucible assembly may also include a portion having a convex surface that maintains contact with the ground during rotation of the crucible, thereby providing support and stability to the crucible as melted aluminum is poured therefrom.
