View Full Version : Melting large amounts of lead?

I have a small 20lbs melting furnace, and it takes forever to go through a box of lead. So then I tossed a large pot on a burner and ran a torch on top, faster, but a bit more work than I want to do.

Does anyone make a large furnace to do around 100lbs at a time?

I see that Magma has the 90lbs pot, does anyone here have it? How qell/quickly does it melt?

I was thinking of building a fired furnace that hits the top and bottom of the pot. Has anyone done this?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Look through this sticky for some good smelting setups.
