Today I latched onto a turkey fryer burner at the local salvage yard for 5 bucks.
Gotta wait till this weekend to get a regulator and tank.
In the mean time I was wondering.
If you moved the burner unit closer to the bottom of the lead pot, would that be a more efficent way of smelting lead?
It seems to me that the burner is 6 to 8 inches from the bottom of the supports and heat would be lost, therefore more fuel to heat the lead.
I'm not going to hack it up till I hear from the more experienced people here.
