My Lee Pro 4 just won't pour even after multiple cleanings...

Dumasron it is an electrical control box with a probe that reads the temperature of your lead, and adjusts the temp either up or down to a temperature you have pre-set.

Either/or. Check http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=147092 for pre-built ones or for kits that just need assembling.

Good Lord, what did Jeremiah Johnson do when casting from a camp fire????

Made round ball.......sorta..

I too think that you should turn up the temp on your pot. I keep mine between 700 and 800 degrees for best fill out and smooth operation. DOn't put another pot on top of your existing one. You're only asking for trouble here. I run 2... Lee pro 4 20's side by side. Cast from one while the other is heating up fresh ingots. No need to preheat them with this method. When you finish with the first pot, refill it and start casting from the second as it should be hot and ready to go.

What trouble am I asking for by doing so???

I run mine @ 710 with the PID. I want to add a big chunk of steel or brass around the nozzle to keep it hotter.

Burned his fingers a lot, I would imagine. He didn't have to worry about lead poisoning except from rival trappers, so he could cast inside the cabin with less draft except when his partner brought in a new "griz" to be skinned!
