GeeSussFreeKsays...Lead has the benefit of having a relatively low melting temperature among metals
(http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/melting-temperature-metals-d_860.html). I would imagine the significantly higher heat deltas might cause problems with this kind of effect...dunno. Building my smelting furnace in a couple of months, I will get back to you on that with empirical evidence!
