Save your pennies and buy safe equipment that is made for working with lead. A 20 pound Lee Pro 4 110V furnace runs about $70. The Magnum Melter 20 runs even less. A couple of tanks of propane to run a turkey fryer will make them cheaper by far in the long run.
Melts, like others have mentioned, your cavalier attitude toward working with lead bothers me. Lead is hazardous, even in its solid form. You can never eliminate all the risks of working with it, only minimize them. Do you even have safety gear? Full face safety mask, welder's gloves and apron? Do you wear it?
I know you're a teenager and you think you're invincible and you can take chances, do things on the cheap and nothing will ever happen, but one slip up and it can kill or maim someone for life. Ever heard the expression 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread?' Stop treating it like something you have complete control over, because you don't and the stakes for screwing up are VERY high.
Thake a good, hard look at the post stickied at the top of this board. Then ask yourself what would have happened if that pot were filled with 20 or 30 pounds of lead?
