Top notch find smokemjoe. Thats what most serious smelters use. Make sure the legs will support over a hundred lbs of lead and the pot.

Sounds like you got a great deal.

On mine, I had to raise the burner a couple of inches to make it more efficient, and later I replaced the defective safety timer. The first mod required a hacksaw and some 1/4" nuts and bolts.

I have pics on this board about the latter fix.
