Chicken scalding post are rather expensive, so we decided to make our own. It was actually quite easy and really inexpensive.

For your rubber gasket: If you made the outside gasket large enough to go over your bolt holes then that's the only seal you need. Any gasket on the wet side of a threaded connection doesn't do much because it only waterproofs the nut's flange but doesn't seal the threads. It sometimes works but only if you're lucky. Gaskets should go on the dry side because that way they seal everything.

We have been debating between propane heat and your system. I like yours better because you can regulate the temp easier I believe. Thanks for making this video.

Just finished building my Scalder from a thermoplastic utility sink. I used two elements so that it would heat faster. I appreciate the close up on the wiring as that really helped me get the electric part buttoned up.

Thanks for this! This is brilliant! I'll get my meat chicks in a couple days so I better get cracking on getting a scalder set-up for processing them. Like you I don't want to spend that much money to buy one already put together, This should be easier to store too!

What if you went to the landfill/recycling center and picked up an old water heater. Cut in half then you can handle a few birds at a time. Also save your time and a good pot when the holes are already manufactured in.

You need to put something over the thermostat and heating element to prevent water from splashing on them. Water and electricity make big boom.

@@divisionoflabor3070 I would use something that didn’t require anymore holes be put in the pot. Less chance of water leaking around the bolts and grounding it out. You could use self adhesive rubberized roof flashing and some fiberglass insulation. Put the insulation over the thermostat and the element and secure it with the flashing. If you go this route, cut the insulation oversized to keep the flashing from sticking to the element or the thermostat. That way, if you ever have to work on either one of them, you can just cut the flashing up both sides and across the bottom of the insulation and gain access. Once you’re done just simply let the insulation drop back in place and reseal with another piece of flashing. May not be the prettiest but definitely will protect the electrical components. You could also use a couple of pump pressure switch covers and use the rubberized flashing to mount them as well.

How does this do with maintaining temp during processing a good number of birds? That's been one of our bigger issues - needing to wait for water to reheat
@AmericanAdventuresTJ
@AmericanAdventuresTJ 3 жыл бұрын
It actually did rather well. We really didn't have to wait for it. We did 37 birds and held pretty good. Of course it was our first time so we weren't real fast.

We added more water about halfway through. We had another bucket of air temp water we dunked them.in first to rinse them off a bit. I would still make the scalder, it worked great.
