Anyone ever used one for boiling frames?
I don't have thousands of frames to clean, but I would like to be able to boil 10-20 (BS - 14x12s) in one go. Having seen the prices of stainless steel pots large enough to take frames and the fact its no something done regularly.
Wondered if anyone else had thought of using a 45 gallon steel drum for the purpose?
Was thinking of getting one cut down, from full depth. And heating it over a gas boiling ring.
