Default Galvanized tub or large boiler

Looking to borrow or buy a large style tub to boil game skulls. Doing an elk skull and need minimum 18”L x 10” W x 10” D. If you know where I can buy a tub interested in that too. Thanks,

Default Skull Pot

Go to a welding shop and have one made.


I have seen propane bottles, 40 lbers, that had a hole cut that would let the skull fit in.

Peavy Mart has canning supplies. Sure they'd have something that'd work.

When I was looking, I hit all the stores for this, couldn't find one. Ended up using a galvanized garbage can but it takes a lot a water to heat and then you have to support it. If you find a big tub, let me know where please.

I used the bottom of a metal 45 gal drum.Cut with zip disc just above bottom rib them bent and hammered cut edge over for rolled type lip on top. Plenty big enough for many sized shulls.

Use a 20L plastic pail if you're just doing a soak type bleaching in H2O2. Home Depot mud empty works fine.

Obviously not a great option if you're boiling.
