Been a while since I've posted. Been surfing though...Lots of good info. Started casting again. Don't have as much time as I used to --so started casting with a 20 pound lead pot on a Camp Chef propane burner from cabelas (instead of my Lyman Mini Mag). It is much faster. My melt time is ~ 20 -25 minutes.
I just ordered a 10" X 4" dutch oven from Cabelas to speed up production even more. So here's my question:
Is it dangerous to melt with the lid on? I'm concerned about water vapors from the lid falling on the brew and causing an explosion. I have not done it yet but just wondering. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..
