I had gotten a big box of raw WW and so I loaded up the ol' 20# Lee Melter with a big load and then I'd go mow some of the yard. Then I'd come back and dip out clips, flux it twice with candle wax and then ladle it out into my condiment cups that I use for ingot molds, load it back up and go mow some more. I rarely ever smelt my own WW, so this works just fine and is fast enough for me. I usually use this pot to make my casting alloy ingots so I can just drop them into my Pro Melt when I start making bullets. So this pot is dedicated for nasty stuff already. I don't recommend this for your main casting pot. (note the side nippers to make sure they are all lead before they go in the pot)
