Boiling moose/elk/bison skulls

[boneswells]

I was wondering what size of pot (dimensions/liters) a guy needs to boil off moose, elk and bison skulls european style? Wondering what kind of set ups you guys are using?
Thanks :razz:

I've boiled a few... I've tried everything from laundry tubs & coleman stoves to the latest greatest setup - a 24" x 24" superpot that I bought at an Italian grocery store roped up to a plant hanger on a beam sitting on the side burner of my BBQ. It's best to boil heads outside if there's a woman in the house... :D (Hint: Pressure washers are your friend) I'll try to find a pic, but here's the finished product:

I bought a garbage can,cut out slots for the antlers to fit in,filled it up with water to see where the leaks were ! Mine had a couple little leaks on the seam, fixed them with solder and plumbing torch! I then boiled head with Borax,came out great!We have used it for bear heads ect since ! $20 was a good investment !

I boiled out a huge bison skull in a 45 gallon drum cut to about 2/3 height; beware when doing antlers in the garbage can idea and big pots to wrap the antlers where they touch the metal with thick tinfoil or they will often discolor
