I have had great luck melting aluminum with a propane powered burner I built like this:
http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/oliverburner1.html
a simple design and full plans at that site.
My melting pot is an old tractor piston sleeve with a plate welded on the bottom.
My "furnace" is a pile of fire bricks that I set up as required and tear down when cool.
