or better yet go to a junk yard or recycle place and buy lead for 40 to 60 cents a pound heat it up and get all the stuff off the top with a spoon  and you have clean lead. i use a kitchen stove with a pan in the shop to melt lead.

I would never melt lead indoors without proper ventilation. That's asking for trouble fast! I only Burn outdoors on a good day. Or in the garage with a large fan at my back. I have seen lead poisoning affects and it ain't pretty.

I have been melting lead indoors for years and am just curious what I should be looking for in symptoms of lead poisoning ? Last thing I need is to pass out in my pot !!

Best tohave your Doc. check the blood levels when you get a phisycal. Just tell him your concerns. Don't think you need to worry about passing out. But just be aware of contact with lead. And wear gloves when prolonged handleing it.

My Brother in law work at a steel place spraying Red Lead Primer paint before it was baned. He passed on lead poisoning to my sister via clothing. She was pregnant at the time. Her Twins were born with lung defects that they allmost didn't survive. Whole family had to be checked for several years. They didn't have a clue. She died of cancer, any connection? Nobody knows or ain't saying. Do what you want, but I like to error on the side of caution.
