After reading several others opinions, I have decided to start smelting my lead into ingots before going to my Lee pot. I have read about and looked at several peoples setup and I have been looking for equipment.
How does this look for a first timer who will only be doing moderate amounts of smelting:
Burner- Harbor Freight Cast Iron Single Burner
Pot- Harbor Freight #10 Dutch Oven
Will the dutch oven be to big for this burner or should I get a smaller pot like the 20 lb pot here- http://www.do-itmolds.com/products/a...ting_equipment
I am going to try and find a ladel at Walmart but I may just get the 1.5 lb one list with the 20 lb pot. I have 1 Lyman ingot mold but I need more and since muffin pans seems to be the handsdown favorite, I will get some of those as well.
I have read alot about the turkey fryers but with the amount of lead I will be smelting, I dont know if I need that much. I also havent been able to find one in my area for under $50 and I want to try to keep it all under that amount.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
