Got my eye out for a cast iron pot but till then been using a s/s pot seems to work but the inside bottom gets this tan residue that's a pain to clean. I am waiting for my 20lb bottom pour and want to have my lead as clean as it can be before I put it in the new pot.
Will and dose cast iron make that big a difference?

the stainless will work fine. I use a cast iron dutch oven mainly because I got it for $10 with the lid. It is easier to handle than a s/s pot, but the s/s will do fine

SS is fine. I mix all my alloys, upto 75# batch size, in one. Then pour them into ingots which are ready to drop in the casting pot.
