lead pot question

[Jack]

I have used that model Lee pot for years. Skeet is right that it will drip from the spout. The cure for that is to turn the screw on the end of the spout release (or whatever ya call it). The screw slot is on the top rear and easily accessible. A minor PIA, but if you leave a screwdriver handy on your work surface, no big deal.
The one thing I wish it had is a temp control labeled in degrees. Mine has a temp control labeled 1 thru 10 - 1 is low, 10 is high heat. But, that's asking a lot from a cheap lead pot.
Sounds like I'm complaining about the product, but I'm really not- it works and has for a long time.
I think I agree with Skeet - spend the extra 8 or 9 bucks for the larger capacity one. Even if you don't think you need the larger capacity, the larger pot would make melting down scrap lead easier - your scrap lead will fit in the pot easier - less cutting up a piece of flashing, etc.
