There is a few lads on here who make leads so they will probably give you the best advice, I think cast iron pans and some even use tea pots, obviously not the ones you plug in the wall lol

The replies pretty much sum it up.

I use one of these Foker Large Cast Iron Burner with an old stainless steel pan, a spoon to scrape the slag off the top, and occasionally an extra blow-torch to speed up melting the lead.
A heavy duty pair of gloves are a must, eye protection is sensible.
Tin snips help cutting the lead to fit the pan.
Do your melting outside to avoid the fumes and pick a calm DRY day.
