If you're not gaining anything, and you're going to be selling it to the yard as is, why would you spend time or money on it? Now if you're hoarding it, ingots are much easier to handle than 300 pounds of wire.

IF you really want to make ingots check out this site. http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/index.html He shows the cheapest way to get into a forge. You have the different kind of fuels to choose from.
I do cast my Al and Cu into ingots. The cost is free for me since I do sand-casting. Still learning on the metallurgy of smelting for purity.
I have been visited by local sheriffs that know I melt metal, twice. Both times after scrap was stolen in the area.
