Thanks jk...it's a good way to do mass wood boiling or very large pieces of wood. :thumbup:
Thank you ccole...it was the only way i could think of to do large amounts of wood in one go. :thumbup:
Thanks Stan...hahahaha,This stew pot was cast iron with a baked enamel coating (very heavy) i got from local tip for $5 it lasted nearly 3 years and it went back to the tip where i got it from,a full tub of wood would take 4-5 days of boiling with a pressure clean about every 3 hrs...to remove any tannins. :thumbup:
Good question froggie...I used a cheap plug from the supermarket...i put the drainage hole over the cinder block were the flames couldn't touch it...it worked fine...thanks mate cheers. :thumbup:
Wow is that a sink or a bathtub?, and it's metal? I wonder if a porcelain tub would work too... This is a very appealing/cheaper way of sinking the wood. I live in Arizona where Manzanita wood and Cholla cactus are sourced natively. Thank you for posting this It's a very interesting idea and I may try it.
Though if one of those cinder blocks gave way someone might be scalded, Yikes! A little dangerous but very effective.

Hello,Ike...It's a bathtub made from cast iron...i wouldn't use anything else that wasn't metal/steel just to be safe...i used this setup for nearly 3yrs and never had a problem with it and i didn't change a thing,dangerous 'maybe' but you wouldn't let children run around it. cheers :thumbup:
