Can kerosene be used in old melting pots to melt lead?
yes it can. kerosene lead melters were used by plumbers for many years. sewer drain lines were made of cast iron. one end of the pipe was a about half an inch larger than the od of the pipe. you put the pipe into the flared end of the next pipe and packed oakum down into the gap between them with a chisel leaving about half an inch from the top. then you poured molten lead in to fill up the rest of the space and used a special chisel and a hammer to drive the lead down on to the oakum and finish the seal. nowadays they use pvc pipe and glue. which is a whole lot easier.

How were the old cast iron drain pipes connected and how can they be replaced?
Two ways. Caulked joints and ty-seal joints. Cut the cast iron behind the hub and use a Clamp-all to join it to PVC pipe.

Either one can cut the cast iron piping and clamp PVC to it or you can melt the old lead out of the cast iron joints and place PVC piping inside and then "recork" (reseal) it with prattley putty to prevent it from leaking.CORRECT1- Older CI roof drains were installed by Caulking using oakum and then pouring molten lead2- Some older CI drain drains used a Durham system meaning the Cast Iron drains were SCREWED the pipe galvanized in most cases and then the galvanized was caulked into a cast iron bell.It is unprofessional and highly unskilled to replace a cast iron leader line with plastic for several reasons.Seems the non skilled always try to use some type of epoxy..You may want to contact a licensed master plumber who has had the required 10,000 hr apprenticeship training
