I have been learning a bit about rocket stoves recently, and am thinking about building a steel rocket cook stove for various tasks, and smelting scrap lead is one of them. Normally I have used a turkey fryer and propane but with the cost of that recently I think I'll switch to wood for fuel. A well designed rocket should have no problem melting lead, making charcoal, firing clay plugs for Enfield bullets, and any other job I need it to do. Has anybody else here tried one of these yet?
