Home-Built Chicken Scadler
We butcher chickens and I recently built a scalder that consists of a small barrel mounted on the deck of an old lawn mower with the motor removed. A heating element from a gas water heater mounts in the bottom of the barrel. I converted it from natural gas to propane by drilling out the orifice (or you can buy a new fitting). The water heater thermostat keeps the water right at 140 to 145_, which is perfect for scalding birds. (W.K. Rynsburger
