I got a couple of minor burns on me, and about ten holes in the blue jeans I was wearing.
I got on Lee's web site and put in a complaint. No answer no answer no answer. So my wife got a hold of a friend of hers and found out what their phone number was. I called and they where happy to talk to me until I told them about the bad engineering of this pot. They hung up on me three times. Finally I got hold of someone who told me to mail it back to them and they would fix it. I don't want it fixed. It is defective. I told them just send me another pot. They said that I would have to pay shipping both ways. The pot I was sending back, and the pot they would be sending me as soon as they got my pot looked at.
The 20 pound pot is a nightmare and anyone who has one that works right and doesn't fail is on lucky person. Lucky me I have a 10 pound pot from 1983 that works great.
