I didn't think it would work either, not enough juice!
Sorted all my weights last night and they where 30lbs of clipons, 20lbs of stickons and 1lbs of pure tin stick ons. By volume I'd say there was as many iron and zinc weights as all the three combined.
Anyway got it all sorted (lousy quality cell pictures):
Then I tried to smelt it:
Yeah it's not looking that good. I barely got some of the lead on the bottom to melt but it was obvious it wasn't gonna work...
Now, however I got this old stove elsewhere (used for some DIY parkerization) that I could haul up to my smelting place, but I am not sure if an electric stove would have enough juice either:
Think this will work, or do I need to get a propane burning setup?
