I purchashed a used lee 10 lb pot. Cleaned it and lapped the rod and seat. Built a Pid temperature controller. After looking all over and at all the thrift stores, I ordered a hot plate off Amazon. It came today. Spent the afternoon outside. Put a saw blade on the burner and cut 1/3 off a coffee can to put over the mold. Started the pot at 700. A lot of wrinkles. Raised it to 730. Still some wrinkles and striking to the HP pins on the mold. I am pouring 45-230 gr hp with a NOE mold. Ran the temp up to 750. Started pouring excellent booklits. Ended up with 122 in my container. Glad I waited until I had everything to do it right.
