I just got this and overall, I really like it. The problem is, it seems to plug up. It started with the first melt using new lyman #2 alloy from rotometals. Brought it up to temp (700 deg F) fluxed it and got a little bit of dross. I used wax btw. It also dripped a bit, but I stopped that by adding a bit of weight to the handle. I've tried opening the flow wide and pouring into ingots, cleaning out with a pick. Anything else I could try? Next I suppose is emptying the pot and doing a thorough cleaning
