re: Has anyone attempted to make a homemade Buck Boiler?

Bought a 20qt flat back feed bucket, a 1500w 120v heating element, and a 1" conduit port. I drilled a hole about an inch up from the bottom on the back, fed the element through the hole, and connected the port from the inside. This set up worked better than the Buck Boiler, but there were a few design flaws that can be overcome. It leaked sometimes around the seal so I am going to put Gorilla glue in the port and around the seal. For twenty bucks total it was well worth it. The head came out clean.
