ZekeMan ZekeMan trapper Registered: 04/19/07 Posts: 652 Loc: NW Pennsylvania	turkey fryer and a propane tank like used with a grill is simple and effective. What I use. The fryer basket makes it simple to remove traps from boiling water without having to fish for them. _________________________

TexA TexA trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 2079 Loc: Estherville, IA	Been down the road with the wood fire, toooo smokey and messy! I cut off the upper part of the water heater tank, cleaned out the "junk" that was in there and used that(with the heating element attached) and LP for several years. It workedd good. I had a 100-pound LP tank and it lasted me 4 or 5 years before I had to refill it. I had to move my stuff out of that farm (it got sold) so I let that cooker go too. Been using two COLEMAN 2-burner Camp Stoves and large a kettle to do my cooking and a galvanized bucket for waxing traps since then. I use the Regular Coleman Gas in them. One can lasts about two seasons.... I paid $2.00 for one stove and NOTHING for the other one. They both work just fine...... _________________________ TexA Member Iowa Trappers Association National Trappers Association

possum5676 possum5676 trapper Registered: 01/02/07 Posts: 936 Loc: kansas	Bury a metal bucket upright open end up under your boiling rig, hole in side of it with weed burner inserted, can add some cinder blocks to keep wind out if you wish, same outfit has been used for 40 years to heat branding irons, bend pipe when build cattle corrals, warm well pullers in mid wnter, heat stock dams etc. _________________________ none

BigBob BigBob trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2191 Loc: St. Louis Co, Mo	Harbor Freight had a major recall on those things a few years ago as they had a tendency to explode. Make sure you get a new model. I use a Fish Fry/Turkey cooker, works great, cheaper, and cooks fish too! _________________________ "Every kid needs a dog and a curmudgeon"

coyote snarer coyote snarer trapper Registered: 02/05/07 Posts: 517 Loc: Canada	Here is the set up I use . Can't beat the propane . I used an old furnace burner before I got the torch . I used it for 2 years . Then made the switch .Much cleaner . Takes about 45 mins to get the water boiling . Depending on the outside temp . I do it on a warm sunny day in Sept _________________________ It's hard to make a comeback if you haven't been anywhere

I do it on a warm sunny day in Sept I personaly use a coleman 2 burner camping stove now. In my experience the temp outside has little to do with how long it takes to boil. What I've found to being the biggest determining factor is the wind. Have a calm day and water will be boiling in no time at all. If it's windy seems like it takes forever to boil. _________________________ My daddy taught me how to hunt and how to whittle, Taught me how to work and how to give just a little.
