I smelt with a Dutch oven over a propane turkey cooker. This works fine for smelling but it's overkill for casting - too much furnace even when turned down low. Also I find it difficult to control temps in the 20-pound iron casting pot.
I'd like to stick with propane and feel a smaller stove might be more convenient to work with. Is anyone using such a stove, and where do I buy one? I've looked at propane camp stoves but have my doubts as to how they would hold up under a full 20-pound pot of lead.
My propane source is a standard 20-pound tank with the usual plumbing.
Look forward to your replies.
