tin pan?

[trea_bagger]

Hey guys I could find any answers or any threads relating to this on here-

Im new to this and have the opportunity to pick up a homemade kit. The pan is made of tin however. Does anyone have experience with tin pans, are they good/not good, are special cleaning methods needed, rust concerns...etc? The price is right that’s why I'm considering it.

Thanks

Yes they are ok if you don't use acid or scrub the joints because then you will expose lead.
