GOB,
For supplies in lead melting try a plumbing supply house. Also check the Arkansas Department store. I got a 100# pot, lead ladel and powdered flux in cans from a supply house and at the WalMart I bought a propane single burner free standing fish fryer rig, without bottle, for $29. I use about a dozen muffin tins which I get from anyone will to give them up. I use a stainless steel fork and heavy leather gloves to flux the wheel weights and clean off the slag, then a cast iron ladel is used to ladel off the material into the tins. I mark the top of each muffin with WW to signify that they are not my regular alloy.
Best,
Ed
