Trap boiling pot - 10/20/19 01:37 PM
I know many many threads exist, I have got great Ideas from them that worked well. I kinda needed a larger pot but still wanted to use the turkey fryer for speed and convenience. I ran across a old upright shallow well pressure tank, heavy and about 25 gallons. I cut the top off, it had a drain 3/4 threaded hole to drain, added a drain pipe with valve. The absolute best part is the bottom is very dished, at least 6 inches deep, like a big upside down wok. It sets on the burner nice. I have never boiled water so quick or been able to turn down flame to maintain simmer like this dished bottom kettle. I always enjoyed trap prep, just bragging on this old kettle. One other thing I tried that worked is using a wire fish basket to put my walnuts and sumac in. Dump traps in put basket on top, remove basket with most all nuts and matter and remove traps mostly free of debris.
