I have bottom drop lead furnace can I pour out of it, or do I need a laddle.

The lead furnace works fine provided there is enough clearance between the top of the mold and bottom of the furnace spout.

Absolutely. It's faster and more effective. I have 35 years using the bottom spout. Only way to go.

You have enough clearance off of the furnace but a ladle will keep things cleaner down there.

A Drop Bottom Furnace works just fine. That's what I use and honestly that's all I'll ever use. The decision to size is up to you - I've done it both ways as well as coating with alox before and after sizing and since these are all plinking rounds - what works simplest for you is what you should use. Good Luck with your efforts!

You would need a shot mold and crucible to melt and pour the lead from. Any loader you buy will only take pre-made shot and this one only handles shot to a certain size.

No, it is for lead melting use only. It is a great unit for that purpose. Hope this helps.

You can pour as much or as little as you want. Just give it a quick rinse between pourings

You can pour from it...it'll just be a slow pour. The hole is about double the size of a straw. Hope that helps.

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

It is not big enough to use ladle. Trick is to melt 3/4 full of lead and then you can pour easily using both hand to keep steady. If you are strong and have steady hands then one hand is also okay. Full pot will cause spills as hot lead moves fast.

YOU cant use the bottom for that, it slides off. You can use the small bottom then pour it into the top part. I like it though!

No! Any dirty lead will clog the spout. I hold a Wheel wieght over the pot with pliers and melt the lead off the steel clip. Some new wieghts are not lead.

The heating element can come off by sliding off the part at the back. After the oil is completely cool, you now have a container (the black inside you are seeing) that can be lifted out from the base (the silver part with the handle). Or you can lift everything with the handle and pour but be sure to hold the black part so it doesn't just drop out and make a mess.

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately

Yes, grandpa did it. Propane torch would be easier. A stainless steel bowl is what I use. on a hotplate.The furnace for lead is MUCH safer. One burn (automatically 3rd degree) is more than it's cost.

I am assuming you have a gas stove , if so it should be ok as it sits down in the prongs over the burner. also IMHO a round bottom wok is better for cooking more things

This furnace does not get hot enough to melt gold and silver. It is designed for lead which melts at a much lower temperature.

You should not need to add. If you half fill your cooker and get the temp at the low temp you want you will end up burinng about a 3rd or 4th of your lump coal.

I always refill mine from the bottom. Remove the used lead. Push the top down as you do when you want to advance a lead and then insert the new lead. I have never had a problem with this.

I am not certain. If this is the one that is suggested for purchase when you order the Bainbridge Stove - then yes. When you order anything, there is always One to Three items suggested underneath that either are add ons to the item or similar. The stove itself is amazing - we do not have to use house furnace at all and are much warmer!
