    All flammables should be far away. Especially batteries.

    I use a turkey fryer with a Dutch oven set up on the bed of my f250.

    I found a plumber's setup in an estate auction. No one really understood what it was, a 3 and 4" okem chisel crimper, a chain iron pipe cutter, a 100# cast iron pot and a long handle cast iron pour ladle. I am not going to pay for it, was the only bidder. I found a heavy duty fryer stand at Wally World in Destin, made for a big heavy duty fish fryer. Had an outside propane outlet installed on my shop building when they put in the heater pipeing from my underground propane tanks. I use small and large muffin tins for ingots and use a commercial flux. I alloy at a very high temperature to make a very hard alloy. I can throw a blue flame that engulfs the entire pot, easily reaches 1,300 in minutes and will alloy most anything in my pot.. not tried adding copper wire, yet, but is a thought. I have a bunch of LBT Blue lube but have gone to mostly PC bullets, sized using case lube on a pad.
