hello to all

You can modify a furnace ( LEE pro melter, LYMAN ecc ecc.) for melt aluminum?
maybe adding some resistance?

I thought I'd ask here even if the molten aluminum I do not need to make bullets!

thanks to all

Here's a page: Home-built charcoal furnace (http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200008/GEAR_article.html)

Look for David Gingery's books on Amazon, too. You might be surprised with what you can put together for not much money.
