Smelted today

[Freightman]

I had a five gallon bucket of range scrap so filled the cast iron 6 qt pot and started it cooking. Well i had put to much dirt in so the melting was taking to long so I hooked up my weed burner and heated from the top. Darn weed burner is turbo charged and gets hot fast, it not only melted the lead but also the copper jackets (some) to. It heated fast and melted fast the tag said with the turbo it gets 2500 degrees i believe it.

Lets see some pictures! I need to sort a bunch of wheel weights and smelt, but it looks like it will be Fall before I will have the time.
