Casting Minnies?????

I converted to a propane heated pot & a ladle for casting all my M/L bullets.....just seems to do a better job all round, especially with Minies. I bought a smaller size dutch oven & a propane ring from a camping store. I think some of the bigger electric pots might generate enough heat for Minies but the Lee pots don't seem to. I have heard of people 'tweaking' the thermostats in Lee pots to increase the temperature but have no experience with it. I also found enlarging the pour hole in the ladle helps with heavier bullets, too.
