Well it took about 50 gallons of water. I use my stock pot to heat the water (40 gallon capacity), lined the bed of the gator with a tarp and then pour with 5 gallon buckets. It worked remarkably well, but had to take a break while heating the last 10 gallons.Oil drums I believe are the DIY scalder of choice. I wouldn’t think a 40 gallon would be big enough, unless you quarter it first, but then you would be exposing some of the meat to the scalding water... let me know how it works out. Are you hoisting it with a tractor?
@Ribh sorry for all the meat talk... if you would like we can move that over to my thread or a conversation instead. Not trying to be disrespectful or gross anyone out... it’s just the chatty life conversations we’ve all gotten so absorbed by here.
