I cast outdoors in my backyard. It gets colder in the winters here than in Naples, FL. Here in NoCal it gets way down into the 50's, 40's and sometimes 30's and it even rains once in a while
I keep all my casting supplies in a couple of boxes in the garage. When I want to cast, I bring them out and put the Lee 4-20 casting furnace on a sturdy folding table with a plywood top and a steel sheet underneath (an old computer case sidewall). The setup/heatup takes about 30-45 minutes, the casting session is about 1-2 hours and the cleanup is 15 minutes with an hour cool down on the pot. After work on Monday, I made 800+ .357 bullets and was done before 7:30 with about 1.5 hours of casting.
