    I've smelted in a little put like that. I just hooked a pair of vise grips to the bottom plate and left it. When I was ready to pour I just picked the entire pot up and poured it out.

    Also, run your mold hot enough to start getting frosty looking bullets then slow down a bit to let your mold cool. You'll get the hang of it.

    I discovered that if I have to use a mallet to cut the sprue then I've let it cool too much and I'm running too cold. I can cut any of mine with my thumb and the six bangers just slip open.
