Steel vs cast iron? metallurgical question

[Ice Czar]

well waste vegetable oil has a far higher energy content, but Im not that familiar with how its typically aerosoled. I will be documenting my experiments with gasifiers and I'm happy to share

cool, good luck on your experiments It may be a while before I get to mess with mine, so I think I'll further my research in the meantime.
thanks again for the help.
veggie should be fun, and I just scored about 1,000+ soft fire brick so I think I can afford to melt a furnace or two in testing.

Note that there is a big difference between melting steel and smelting ore into steel/iron.

Which one are you actually trying to accomplish? I can't tell exactly from your post?

[RainsFire]

I meant melt the furnace, I'll be smelting the ore.

I was trying really hard to distinguish that throughout the rest of the thread but you caught me..

i always pick steel over cast iron......thats because repairing cast iron requires alot of praying, if i need a cast part...cast steel......works like cast iron, welds like steel...

I think what Thomas is asking, is your end product to be cast iron or cast steel? or something else like wrought iron? Kinda hard to follow your thoughts.
