Lyman Lead Pot, Black

This thing is top notch, thick and well made cast iron for melting lead in. It shipped fast and I have no doubt it's going to be around long after I'm gone.

Thanks

While I do have a 10 pound capacity electric pot I wanted to get this as something I could use if I did not have power nearby. That said, I did not know what to expect of this as photos are always deceptive even if it is only my perception of the photo. Once it was unpackaged and used over a propane burner I found it to be wonderful. I have a Lyman ladle and using both of these together is the total package. I now wish I had not even purchased the electric as this work so well. I have not even used the electric yet because this works so well. you can put dirty lead in here and spoon of the top junk (is dross the right word?) and below is bright shiney lead. I love it. It is very portable and can be used over almost any flame, perhaps even a electric hotplate.

Pot Came a little rough and I had to sand the interior a bit to allow oiling without tearing towels and leaving paper debris. Is clearly good for purpose, well thought out and perfectly sized for bullet casting. Would recommend.

This melting pot will hold 2 or 3 pounds of lead, and is pretty heavy duty.

Great for fluxing and cleaning small batches of mixed lead prior to casting ingots. Lip and strong bail help with pouring. Cast Iron is usable on any heat source... will dispatch any zombie if you strike it in head with this small pot.There was a question posted re: how much volume does it hold. It is about 2 3/4" tall with a diameter of about 4". It holds about 1 3/4 cups of water. A little more than a cup of melted lead allows the ladle adequate room without spilling over side. Remember to use in a well ventilated area

The dimensions they give you are for the box. The pot is 3&5/8" id and 2&3/4" deep.

This iron pot was alot smaller then I expected but I tell you what it gets the job done.Its well build and very strong. I use the King Cooker out door propane gas stove with a grill attachment to place this pot on to melt my lead out doors. I dont believe in doing this kind of thing inside do to health reasons. This pot gets hot and stays hot on my propane set up it took as little as 4 minutes to melt 9 pounds of lead to liquid just be sure to were all saftey equipment while doing so.
