Buck Boiler

For 1 or 2 skulls you could use one, but this used to be sold by another company. The company went out of business because the product breaks after 5-7 uses. They don't replace them once they are broken. If you are looking for something to do one or two skulls, you could try it. If you are looking for something to do your customers', it won't last and there are better methods.

 

I made my own with a stock feed bucket, hot water heater element and a long cord. The bucket was purchased at the feed store, the element and cord at the hardware store. The cost was under $50. I rarely use it, but It has done several really well.

 

I've done the same thing, but use a 30 gallon rubber maid.

 

I have an old canning kettle that I fill with water placed over camp stove. I use a smaller roasting pan for removing extra skin and meat from racks to be mounted, allot less smell. Add seasonings and potatoes you have stew.

 

I have noticed that this product seems to receive a lot of bad reviews online, however, I have done about 10 skulls with this product and it has worked very well for me. I usually follow the directions to the T as far as adding the amount and type of detergent, as I've heard lots of people's problems were from adding too much detergent, or a different type, etc. That being said, It's not exactly as advertised tho, if you want optimal results you are still going to have to do some scrubbing, and change the water atleast once, and degrease. One of the nicest things about it for me is that you don't have to babysit it.
