Want to set up a double pot system over/ under

[fredj338]

I thought about the double pot thing, then just bought a 40 lb pot and stopped thinking about it.

^^^THIS^^^ I have a Magma caster & it will take 10# of ingots before it drops temps enough to stop casting. I always keep the pot at least 1/2 full.
I find preheating ingots on the top of the pot works fine for my LEE 4-20, just add them often, never let the pot get below 3/4 full. When I dump sprues pretty often. The time it takes to get back to temp is enough to allow the mold to cool a bit. Too much over thinking.

I have been using a Magma master caster for years now I keep it 3/4 full at all times no pre heating I just slide the ingot in the pot and if it starts to sizzle I just pull up on it for a few seconds then go on putting it in the 40 lb pot there is little if any temp difference and I can cast all day if I care to D Crockett

Funny I have an old 10# production pot and just bought a 4-20 that hasn't even been fired up yet. I'm out of lead!

the 10# pro pot I have is really gunked up at the spout and found that a full replacement pot liner is about $10 but it looks like it has a newer screw type spout. I thought about trying to change it to the 4/20 handle since the 10# diagonal bar drives me crazy.

Great idea, the top one leaks into the bottom one, but what does the bottom one leak into?
