[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1050990, member: 10178"] All these post are good. I use the gas burner from a turkey cooker with a large cast iron pot to melt my wheel weights. I do this outside. Put wheel weights in the pot turn up the heat and when they melt I drop in a chunk of bees wax which will burn and smoke but I start stirring the pot slowly with a metal spoon with a wooden handle on it to flux the melt. I then use the spoon to skim all the clips and trash off and then drop some more bees wax into the pot and stir again. Then I use a metal dipper to dip the lead out and pour it into an ALUMINUM cup cake pan. The lead will pop right out of the ALUMINUM pan but will not come out of a metal pan I learned the hard way :rolleyes:. These stack good and store easy. [/QUOTE]
