Where do you cast in the winter ( northern guys)
Weekend before Christmas at around 25 degrees.

That's only for processing into ingots. I can't do it as long due to the tank freezing up.
For casting bullets I do it in my unconditioned garage year round. Use a fan in the summer if it's to hot. And a torpedo heater this time of year to keep it just above bearable. I can't put in all day sessions due to the exhaust from the heater. One day I'll fix the water/mold issues in the garage basement so I can build a 14'x24' conditioned reloading room :)

I am with you Rick. It does get a little dicey when walking to my shop there is snow or ice on the ground. I usually get the wife to put down some salt do I don't slip!!
My shop has a 240 volt heater and a swamp cooler for the summer months, it's a dry heat.
A hood vent from a range stove is wired into the outlet so when my pot gets turned on, so does the vent/light.
I cast year round.
