My pot

Trying to help a member here and can't figure out how to post a pic in a PM, so I'll do it here.

Hope this helps! BTW- It's about 6" tall. And here's an Ebay item that's similar

Watch out for that handle if you are lifting hot lead with it. I had a very similar looking stainless water cup; the handle snapped loose at the spot welds.

Never move it unless it's cold. That weighs well over 30 lbs just as it sits!

Bret is that pot a convien't size for melting about 10 lbs or so ingots for ladle casting?
Why do you like the SS better than the cast iron?

[Bret4207]

It will certainly do 10 lbs but that would only be about 1/4 full. I use both a Rowell 1lbs lade and an ancient Lyman. I bought the pot because I wanted a heavier duty ladle pot that held a lot of lead. My little Lyman 10lb cast pot was too small and my makeshift pots didn't last long. This jumped out at me from the shelves of a now closed hardware, the old fashioned kind of hardware. It wasn't until I started using it that I noticed my dross accumulation dropped by half at least. Ferrous alloys rust and they tend to "flake" a bit too. I think all that adds to our dross. This particular pot is rather heavy empty and is of good quality, not at all like a lite wt sauce pan.

To the rescue again, thanks a lot.

Oh, I have a in new condition, Lyman Ladle that I bought at a church yard sale. I was told on this forum that it hasn't changed a bit in a Hell of a long time!
So what you have is a new (style) Lyman Ladle, LOL. I guess if it works, why change it!
