Can I melt lead?

I was wondering if it's okay to melt a small amount of lead on my stove.
It's possible but I heard it creates toxic fumes. I only want to melt
about 1 once worth of fishing sinkers into 1 solid piece. Is this fine or
should I still do it outside?
I melt lead all the time indoors. I do have a common range vent hood
over the bench. Just grab a small iron or stainless ladle toss in the
lead and apply low heat. Once it melts fully pour it into your mold. 1
oz. isn't much lead, what is the final use?
