I only use it 5-6 times a year but when I need it the hot water outside tap is pretty great. I have a hose end that connects to both hot and cold faucets and allows me to dial in the right temperature too.
Hey man thanks for the video and instructions. I built one for my family and I, and we processed 10 burbon red turkeys yesterday. Thing worked like a champ.
The drum has been in my possession for seven years and at least five before that with my Dad. No idea where he got it. My original plan before I remembered I had this drum was to use a 100 lb propane tank and cut it in half - for some reason there are a bunch of cheap old ones on sale near me.
Where did you get the galvanized weld in nut? I would like to weld mine in. NPT thread right? I seen some they calling a lock nut that looks like that. Store or link?
I upgraded to a larger heating element in this video ua-cam.com/video/OPqYN-aFAHk/v-deo.html and recommend just getting this nut amzn.to/3AwohZq I think I bought the one I welded in locally at ace or Menards - went to plumbing and found the right thread/size (1” NPT is correct)
Thanks, I don't have much in the way of plans but I did make a longer video with all the parts and video of the build process here ua-cam.com/video/gyrp2FjVwgY/v-deo.html
The plastic reacts to heat by shrinking, compressing the chicken for efficient long term freezer storage. The hot water is an efficient way to transfer heat.
The hot water hose tap is genius. I need to do that in my house now

I’m amazed how well your plucking machine works.

That's awesome! Just did two turkeys yesterday too.
I love a well thought out design like this. You should be super proud of yourself!
You do nice work.
One tip is put water in the buckets below the cones it makes cleaning the buckets way Easter
Good tip!
Since we are in bear country we put a garbage bag in the pail with a couple of scoops of sawdust from the dust collector.
@@minmaxwax great idea
Great job
Looks good brother!
One of the better scalder designs I’ve seen, where did you find the steel drum?

Very creative
Amazing designs. How or where can I find the plans man?

Is it available for sale???
You should cover the electrical connections on the heated bucket, this is a disaster waiting...
What size heating element did you use in the scalder?
2000 watt - caution: needs a heavy duty extension cord (10-12 gauge) and 20 amp outlet.
do you run the scalder and the plucker on the same circuit?
Separate circuits - scalder uses a lot of power.
So when you submerge the chicken wrapped in plastic in the hot water…. It acts as a vacuum and pushes all of not most of the air out?
The plastic reacts to heat by shrinking, compressing the chicken for efficient long term freezer storage. The hot water is an efficient way to transfer heat.
Motor how much horsepower power?
1hp farm duty 1725 rpm. I’ve heard others say 1/2hp too little so I went with 1hp - I’ve never been short on power even with geese and turkeys.
@@samuelwiltzius what power controller you use? Name the brand..
Is that Justin Trudeau?
Can we be friends
😂 sure! - come on over and we’ll spin some chickens 🐓
