I wish I could find a few things like that to sell on Ebay "I'm not sure what it's purpose was" but someone wants it bad

I think a single burner (like a turkey roaster) with a wind shield would be the best because it will have a higher btu burner on it
Forum: Casting Equipment
also if you use a single burner, if it is not getting enough heat to the pot of if there is a wind blowing you can put a shield around it to help the heat concentrate on the pan (just dont block too...

I was thinking about using one of the propane burners from a turkey roaster and a 5qt cast iron duch oven and a large ladle, it probably would not do 2000 lbs a day but it would do more than my...

your 180gr hornady cowboy over 8 gr unique should be giving you about 1119 fps asuming you have about an 18" barrol and your pressures should be down around 5731 psi
if you get a chance to...

the 10 gr Bullseye should give you about 1350fps and is just under max pressure at 32745psi (36000psi being max) pressure will verry depending on seat depth on your bullet, and that is without any...
