Here's my casting setup.  You'll note that the mould is setting on a small heat plate, coming up to temperature with a thermocouple probe inserted in the bullet cavity.  Once the temp. reaches at least 400 degrees I start casting.  When in rhythm I typically cast 60 bullets per hour.  I really like the RCBS pot with the built-in PID

And here's an older photo of the RCBS bottom pour pot being used with a separate PID.  I don't use the bottom pour, preferring to dip cast with a ladle. Note the PID temp is 751 degrees.  I normally cast at 750 degrees.  If you look closely you can spot the PID thermocouple probe sticking out the top of the pot.

The fan is for cooling the mould and pot after finishing a casting session.  One of these days I plan to install an exhaust hood, but until then I open both doors & window in my separate workshop & let the breeze remove any fumes or smoke.  The casting station is located between both doors.
