I just finished new pot project. Started with a 10" steel pipe and 1/4" plate welded to bottom. 1/2" gate valve screwed onto a welded 1/2 black nipple.
The burner is a wok burner that I found online for $30. The picture made it look small but when it came in i couldn't believe how much there is for the money. I welded bolts to the burner then welded the other end to the bottom of the pot. 1/2" nipple into the burner, welding hose bringing in the propane from the bbq tank.
It works like a champ, not bad on gas and holds alot of lead. It's 10" which is maybe a little to tall since I don't think I will put that much in at a time. May cut it to 6" which is wasier to skim.
