I'd been toying with the idea of using a thermocouple and my DMM to get digital readout of pot temp.
I put it together yesterday and fired up the pot.
When the pot was to temp and I was crankin' out lots of good boolits, pot temp read over 800F!
I turned the pot down to 750F, and still got good fillout and boolits.
I was a bit concerned with the temp as I read (here?) that 800F is where there can be lead fumes present. I pretty much have my face right over the pot when casting.
2 things come to mind to ask:
1. What temp do you run your pot to cast?
and 2. Anybody from the Skagit Valley on here with a thermometer I could borrow and check my thermocouple? Maybe it's off a bunch.... Yondering, ya got an analog 'mometer or a cal'd TC?
