Don't be misled by the title. lol
I have a decent amount of ungainly lead saved up, toilet bends, large pipes, lead bricks. Stuff that would be a major pain to melt in my Lyman.
I have a wood stove that was intended to go in my house, but never will. So it sits in my shed taking up space.
I have a large supply of firewood that will also never get used.
I have a large plumbing ladle.
So the plan this fall/winter is to drag the stove out of the shed and use it to melt down the lead into ingots. What I DON'T have is something to do it in. I assumed my best bet would be to try to find a large old cast iron pot or dutch oven type thing at a yard sale or thrift store. But I was just wondering if there was some other option I was over looking in terms of a melting pot?
