Try not to laugh, noob trying to think outside the box here.

While searching local sell ads for anything I could use to get into casting, I found a stainless kitchen sink for cheap. I know folks use stainless steel pots, so would a sink work? It's a single bowl, not the dual often found in kitchens, but the bowl is about the size you usually see, so it is large.

I'm wondering if I put it on a stand, and put a turkey fryer burner underneath it, if it could be used as a smelter. It would be a bottom pour if I could hook up something with a valve to the drain.

Someone tell me where I'm out in left field with this idea.
