I have 25 lbs of lead from a shower pan cut up in manageable pieces. Looking for someone around Sand Springs that has a BIG melting pot to melt down into ingots. You can have half of the finished product.
I wouldn’t think you need a huge pot to melt that, being pure it should be easy to either break up or fold up. If you find yourself in the wagoner area we can fire up my melting gear.
Buy a cheap, smaller cast iron skillet and cornbread stick pan. Fire up your grill and go to work. Lead melts easily and the old cornbread stick pans make good ingots. Be sure to do it outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
When done please mark the cast iron, or if never going to use again, drill holes in it. Keeps people from trying to cook in it.

Shoot
50 lb of sheet is not that much to process
if you are just pouring ingots
You can put a spout on a tin can with a pair of pliers and pour it with a pair of channel lock pliers
They are also disposable so you can run several at the same time
Small ones are nice because they are lighter when 3/4 full
a camp fire is more than hot enough
Couple of bricks to set the can on is all you need
camp stove
bbq grill
Hot plate
Turkeys fryer
Anything that will get up to 600 or so
If the can is red it’s way too hot
molds
Minni muffin pan
Angle iron with ends welded on
Big spoon
bottom of beverage cans turned upside down
whatever it will fall out of easily
If you’re melting into ingots what does it matter what they look if they are a good size for the melt pot
its not rocket science
if the corners are soldered cut them out if you want dead soft lead otherwise blend them in evenly
Do it outside with the wind to your back
Wash your hands
