Thanks to everyone that's helped out. I smelted today for the first time and I'd say it was a success. I already had a nice natural gas burner stand that hooks up to my house's NG, I use it for brewing. I bought some decent utensils instead of the flimsy $.99 ones, glad I did. Also bought the stainless cart from Sam's for about $120, it performed quite well, I'll also use it during casting. I had already sorted my wheel weights but wasn't 100% sure I got all the zinc out and was nervous about getting zinc in my mix. Knock on wood it was easier than I thought as heating up the wheel weights give a good window to get out the zinc. I ended up catching 2 zinc weights while I was scooping out the clips. I'd say I was probably still 150 degrees under the zinc melting point at the time I got them out. I tried to get the lead to about 700 to flux and pour, the highest I ever measured it was 725. I ended up getting 85 pounds of ingots from 120 pounds of mixed weights. I'm highly considering hoarding lead as I don't see it getting any easier to get or cheaper any time soon. 3000 - 5000 pounds should last a lifetime, better get collecting.
