I've been smelting using an old plumbers pot for about 30 years. It's a real hassle getting it filled these days. I have to drive 25 miles to a commercial yard and be there between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. A real PIA.
So I paid $20.00 for a turkey fryer at a yard sale and a buddy gave me a 4 qt. dutch oven. Filled it about half full with indoor range scrap, put a sheet metal ring around the pot.....3.5 hours later.....No melted lead!
Any ideas? Can you get different burners for these things.
Guess, I'll be getting up early in the morning.
