What's a muffle furnace?

"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.

inert gas kiln? what is that like? what is it?

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.
