I expect a daft answer to a question :)

I used to use a camping stove but have just traded up to one of these Foker Large Cast Iron Burner it’s the phaal curry of ring burners and is much better than the old stove. Look for clean scrap lead if you can get it and melt the lead outside for max ventilation - use a few bricks as a wind break.

Top tips include use a blow torch to speed things along even faster if you want to make a big batch of leads. As well as using the gloves and goggles, a pair of tin snip are handy, so is an old spoon to scrape the scum off the molten lead. Try keeping the moulds hot so the lead doesn’t set too quickly before you have a chance to fill the mould.

...... and if you find a good supply of lead let me know.

The scrap yard in biker today has a good offer on, lead already melted..down side is you have to walk past the exploding gas bottles

I use a camping stove also, takes ages to get it upto temp but once it does you get a good run of 8oz-10oz leads before a re-heat is needed...mine works on petrol 1tr will last around 2hr son full heat.

Now we know why lead is getting hard to get......Keith's production line is using it all....

Looks a great set up there Keith...
