Any Casters With A Smelt Setup In The North?

[HackerF15E]

Looking for someone who has a turkey fryer/dutch oven or other lead smelting setup that I can use or rent. I have half a 5-gallon bucket of range scrap that I want to ingot-ize, and am just too cheap to go buy the whole setup for just one use, so I was hoping I might be able to "rent" one from an OSA'er, or maybe chip in on propane and join someone during one of their own melt-down days.

Prefer someone up on the north side of the state (I'm in Enid), if possible.

Thanks!

I use a Coleman camp stove. I'd image a cheap gas grill would do quite well also. You might be able to find one at a goodwill or garage sale cheap. For a pot I just have a small heavy kitchen pot.

I've got a big smelting pot I can run on propane or unleaded, but I'm in Tulsa.

Yep, been cruising the local garage sales and thrift stores for quite some time with no avail.

Mine even had pipe with a flapper plumbed in when I found it.

You can melt lead in a coffee can or any tin can on a coleman stove. If you are just gonna make ingots it wouldn't matter much. I cast a lot of bullets useing an old sauce pane that the handle was broken off of. Found it in a dump.
