    I wanna be just like R5R.

    LOL Just came in from another COW melting session. 4 buckets in queue. I definitely need another burner.

    Of course you need two, that way you can melt lead and have a crawfish, crab or shrimp boil !
    Crawfish season is just starting , crab and shimp will follow.

    My burner just died and I'm out of propane. That's what I get for not having spares.

    Why are you still here? You should be out buying new stuff before you start withdrawals.

    If you have 2 you don't need to risk adding cold lead to the smelter--empty one whilst the other comes up to temp.!
