    It's about how you want to utilize it , I for one go out side with a nice wind
    not to worried about melting some lead and making bars
    But 2200 lbs is a project .
    If it was Me I'd get some proper molds from E bay

    Lee Lead Ingot Mold Bullet Casting Mold LEE 90029 | eBay



    Cast iron pot

    Lead Pot Cast Iron Bullet Melting Casting Mold 10 pounds Furnice Coal Gun Tool | eBay

    Source of heat = to a bit more then 700 degrees

    make a nice batch of Bars

    I work with an open fire pit using wood & a cast iron pot
    with old baking molds ( I'm cheap )
    But with a small investment consider it a monthly income with a touch of work till it's all gone
    Naturally a fast sale at the yard will deliver .45 to .50 a pound
    fast sale on ebay about $1 a pound
    common price on ebay $1.25
    $2 to $3 a pound for some nice bars
    Ebay is like - - - let the buyer beware
    some people pay more for same

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
