You are aware that you need a well vented area when melting lead....

Might want to wait until you have a nice day outside...

Don't want you to end up like me.....[8D]

I gotta get a new hood vent system for the kitchen. I was fixxing me some lunch. boiling water had the hood on. it died. oh yeah, I put my camping stove and pot out side, and doing it out side, not much wind, a little cold but I see if I can get somemore bullets done.

yeah, I'm alive, but in a chitty mood. I am thinking of selling about 60# of ww ingots, which is about all I don't have setting in a pot waiting to be made into bullets

Why? What happened now? I have found that is is almost impossible to cast bullets outside
in cold or windy weather..It is hard to keep the temp. the same in the pot..I have used a gas burner
for a long time and this is my first attempt with an electric melter..I do all of my casting in the
garage if it aint too cold..

lets say it is very personal, and nothing to do with any of my hobbies.

Please don't melt lead in the kitchen. Do you have children?
