smalliebiggs Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’m thinking of upgrading from a Hot Pot 2 to a production pot. Any advantages to the #20 over the #10 besides capacity? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Fishing Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 The 10# pot is far more popular with our customers. Unless you're pouring lots of lead, the 20# pot is generally overkill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3Solutions Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I disagree with the above. A 20# pot will maintain heat better if you are adding back lead as you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think it depends on what you're using it for. I primarily pour jigs for myself. I might pour 20 at a time (so less than a pound of lead at a sitting). It's much more economical to heat 10 pounds of lead than 20 pounds when you're only going to us 1 pound. If you were going to pour 15 pounds of lead at a shot I'm sure the 20 pound pot would be a better choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I prefer the larger pot... I see both sides of this. People generally "Upgrade" as they progress in this hobby. If you think you are going to stay in this, Get the bigger one now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
