Talk: Smelt Copper Prills (Small Batch)

Purpose

Discussion for improving smelt repeatability, charge schedule, and prill recovery.

Open questions

• What ore-to-charcoal ratio gives best beginner recovery in small furnaces?
• Should we add a dedicated slag re-smelt workflow as a separate article?

Proposed improvements

• Add a run log template (charge timing, airflow, observed heat zones, yield).
• Add photos/diagrams of typical slag vs metal-bearing slag.

Decisions

• None yet.
