Lee Precision Melter dimensions

Can someone tell me the diameter of the inside of the pot on the little Lee ladle furnace? I tend to cast a hundred or so round balls at a time and use a Lyman ladle and want to make sure it has enough room to work without having to fill the pot constantly to keep the level deep enough.

The one I have is 2 7/8 in. in Dia. Couldn't measure the depth cause it's full of lead to keep my hollow point pins hot.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. Sounds a bit claustrophobic to ladle cast with, especially using a Lyman ladle.

I use it fine with the Lee ladle. Mostly for smaller jobs. Right now I have it with soft lead for BP projectiles. They are bigger on average but I don't shoot it as much so I don't cast as much. I moved to the big Lee pot shortly after for more serious casting.
