wow...this is an old one

Apparently I never responded to my own thread

but my uncle is an auto mechanic and he was able to get me three 5 gallon buckets full of tire weights. I agree, they don't pour as well, but hell, they're free.

Thanks for all the info guys.

They arent that bad to pour.My fatherinlaw and I use wheel weights too,we get free from the township garage. You got to wipe em down with a rag to get the grease off if they are real filthy and break them up into pieces other than that we never had any problems.

Try EBAY. You can usually get it for about $1.10 a pound shipped to you. They can ship up to 60 pounds for $11.95 in a USPS Flat Rate Box.

I use a cast muffin pan to pour my ingots and they are only about 2.5lbs each but i can melt smaller amounts, and i just use the side burner on my grill to melt them it does eat up propane though
