Rated 1 out of 5Â by LMunro Does not work
I bought this for my son for a birthday present who does Texas mounts on a regular basis. It does not even boil the water in fact you can stick your hand in the water is not hot.

I have boiled skulls with gas and electric stoves and allowed skulls to decay with varying degrees of success. This product is convenient and easy to use. Last weekend, I cleaned 1 half skull mount, 4 skull caps and a full skull. I have never been that productive. One item of interest: I pack skulls in salt for shipment. Be sure to clean and soak the skull prior to boiling. Apparently, salt in the water increases conductivity resulting in the breaker kicking out. The solution was to empty the water and start over and it worked flawlessly.

Bought this in early novemeber. I did 15 skulls in it and the bottom of the bucket cracked. Called On Time Feeders up (makers of the Buck Boiler) and complianed. They were great. They asked me to email them a copy of my recepit and within three days of calling them I had a brand new Buck Boiler sitting on my porch. Best customer service I have ever experienced. Now for how the product works. Some times it takes a little longer too boil every now and again. I sit this in my garage and keep it out of the cold to help it keep up to temp. This seems to help and I would recomend following the instructions. Over all a great product.

This was not the first Buckboiler I have purchased through Bass Pro. I am a wild game butcher, averaging over 300 whitetail per year, in addition to moose, bear and caribou. As an addition service I offer skull cleaning and european mounts for my customers. The first Buckboiler lasted over 2 years and cleaned well over 100 heads. It may be a bit pricey for the average hunter who may only clean one or two heads per season, but for continuous use for almost 2 months per season, it has been an ideal product for me. Easy to clean, easy to use, does a great job. The water level must be monitored regularly, but this is to be expected with evaporation during boiling. Less than fresh heads produce a nasty odour in the steam, so outdoor use is best. Works better when temps are 0 or higher.

Unlikely, even some large whitetail heads do not fit well and cannot be totally covered in water.A:Â
I don't beleive the pot is large enough to do an elk.Answers
A:Â
pot of water you most likley will be doing in your home and will have to deal with the smell. This is great for doing out side on your porch or doing it in your garage when it is colder out to keep the temp up. Believe me your wife or girlfriend will thank you.A:Â
It is sometimes difficult to regulate the temperature when using a pot and burner, the Buck Boiler is preset to "simmer" the heads, and doesn't overboil or overflow the bucket.A:Â
I think it does a better job and needs less supervision.A:Â
Well for one there is no open flame and you can get the buck boiler started and walk away for a couple of hours. I would think this is safer than boiling water on a propane burner. I also think in the long run, the buck boiler is cheaper to operate than propane.A:Â
This keeps a more constaint temperature. I have doen others the old way and some of them required heavy bleaching afterwards. These come out white after drying.Details:Â
this looks like a black plastic bucket. is that all there is to it? cause I couldn't pay fifty bucks for a plastic bucket just out of principle
Answers
A:Â
No, in my opinion the key is the conductance in the water of the heater and the protection the heating element has to protect the skull during treatment.A:Â
there's a little more to it, it is pricey for what it is.A:Â
It has the bucket, the heating element inside the bucket and a circuit breaker on the power cord.A:Â
Yes it is a horse feed bucket with an electric heating element.A:Â
It has a heating element in it that is set for a slow boil, self contained unitA:Â
There is patent-pending heating element thing in the bucket, and the cord to plug it in. The whole thing works from the heating element which conducts electricity somehow through the skull.A:Â
It might be a plastic bucket but its designed to do what you bought it for.
A:Â
Mine has a heavy duty electrical cord, circuit breaker and a way to deliver low amps with the obviously correct needed voltage to blast away at the meat and cartlidge, heating element and rubber bucket. Most of all it does what they advertise.A:Â
it is a black plastic bucket but it has a heating element in it that uses an electrical current to heat the water.Answers

Totally re-usable. Adding a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent to each head is all the chemicals you need.A:Â
yes it's reusable, we use dish washing powder.A:Â
I have used it three times so far and the only thing you add is a1/2 teaspoon of cascade dish washing detergent to the water. It worked great.A:Â
Yes I have done 3 whitetails so far. Dish washing detergent is the only chemical needed.A:Â
Yes it's reusable. You just need water and powdered dish detergent. It comes with three half-teaspoon packets of detergent. We only had to use one today.A:Â
yes you can use it over and over. you only need water but a sprinkle of Cascade helps some.A:Â
Its very reusable time and time again. Cascade dish soap.A:Â
I have done 12 heads with mine and the only thing I add is powder dish washing detergent per the instructionsA:Â
yes it is reusable and you only need a small amount of cascade dish detergent for it to work.A:Â
