Got a few pounds of copper wire I'd like to melt into ingots of one sort or another. Anyone know where or who?

With a melting point of 1984.32 °F your going to have to go to a copper industrial processor.

The processor will probably not do a small scale copper processing.

There should be plenty of recalling places that will buy it. I have sold copper wire and even spent brass.

Call Lake Highlands Shooting Center, ask for Dave. Ask him who he sells the bullet trap copper and lead to.

There are scrap places in Paris and Mt Pleasant.

Have sold brass and other scrap to them in the past.

I've heard of people melting copper in a pottery kiln.  Throwing pots is one of those hobbies people are always getting out of, so keep an eye on FB Marketplace, Craigslist, and the side of the road.
