I used the bottom half of a Freon tank for a long time until I got a Propane tank.
The bandsaw guy cut it just above the seam on the freon tank. It will hold about 120# of range scrap but would only do
about 90# at a time.

I also recommend this $30 pot. 5 quarts of lead is 118 pounds although I wouldn't fill it more than 2/3 full which is still nearly 80 pounds. I bought a turkey fryer at Cabelas when it was on sale for $40, usually $60. I did not attach the side supports for the big pot because the dutch oven fits snugly on top of the base.
My first range smelt of 120# yielded 84 pounds of ingots requiring 2 batches of melts. I hijacked the propane from my grill.

I do the Dutch oven and turkey fryer thing too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...42d148dcc2.jpg
I know it's been said before...get a 20# propane tank and cut the top off.
