Judge B. I bought the Lee 10 pound production pot about 20 some odd years ago. The spout started leaking. Lee replaced the whole pot for half price. It lasted until a few years ago, when it burned out. Again Lee replaced it for half of the current price. I still use it for small batch casting and testing new alloy batched.
For my serious long term session casting, I have a Lyman Magnum pot. I bought it used, and it seems to be holding up well.
I'll pass on a "kink" I got from THE FOULING SHOT, the magazine of the cast Bullet Assc. I thought the guy was nuts, but I tried it and it works like gangbusters.
Drain the pot of all metal, and let cool. Fill pot with water, and turn back on. You will have to reduce the temperature as the water begins to boil, or else you will have a mess. As water boils, scrub with a toothbrush or small wire brush. Do this for about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain. You will be surprised at how clean this gets the pot.
I do this with both my pots, and believe me, it works.
