The Whizbang chicken scalder plan-book tells you how to build a deluxe chicken scalder. The Whizbang scalder allows you to easily set the precise water temperature you want. An electronic temperature controller will then automatically maintain a 4-degree temperature range. A digital temperature display provides for easy temperature monitoring. The insulated water tank holds water temperature remarkably well, thus conserving energy. With the automatic dunker feature, you can scald three chickens at once which translates to 120 chicken-per-hour scalding capacity. The Whizbang chicken scalder has wheels and is easily transported. A portable propane tank (like used on a gas grill) fuels the scalder for many hours and is convenient to use. Once again Mr. Kimball has done it with this 65 page easy to read, easy to follow, step by step instruction book for a home made scalder. Loaded with diagrams and pointers to make assembly the easiest job possible. Learn More
