Hucks Wood fired Lead Smelter
This is what I use to melt down lead pipe and wheel weights, It's a diesel trucks air tank, I cut one end off for the pot and put a hole on the back top and welded the pot with a gap for flame heat to rise. I have an old garbage can cut to slide loosely around the bowl to hold heat in and around the bowl. I have about 100lbs lead melted in it in the pictures with cast iron corn bread molds to make my lead stick ingots.
