GRAWSAW E-Boiler

[realunlucky]

Saw this at the expo and immediately pre-ordered a E-Boiler as I now almost exclusively european mount everything.

E-Boiler | grakksaw

Many years in the making, the future of self-taxidermy is here. A high wattage, 120v electric powered skull boiler and macerator. Fast cook at 185+ degrees or macerate for 4-8 days at 100 degrees. Maceration allows for bacteria to eat away the connective tissue of the skull, instead of "cooking"...

Disclaimer- I purchased with my own money at the discounted pre-order cost. Yes it's a spendy buy once kind of purchase that I understand isn’t for everyone.

My hope is that is truly a low effort way to get exceptional european mounts with minimal effort. For me that will justify its up front cost.

Here is a picture of the units inside

That thing looked pretty sweet when I saw it there as well. Very interested to see how it does.

I will be testing this unit with Utah's ultimate trophy- a SPIKE elk.

Since I knew the E-Boiler had shipped and I had to pack out evidence it was a spike anyways, I carried the skull out instead of just capping it.

Great job Sam! I look forward to hearing about how it works. That is one pricey boiler....but if it doesn't have to be babysat like my ghetto setup, prob worth it.

Was it a 6 month shipping delay, or a recent order?

I live in town so my neighbors probably won't appreciate the Maceration process but my brother has a couple acres and being able to leave it unchecked for a few days definitely played into my buying decision.

When you add it's ability to straight up nearly boil at 185* and degrease at 100* with minimal oversight it's potentially a huge time saver for me.

If you've ever ruined a european mount you definitely tend to pay way more attention to the process and that alone aggravates my wife to no end that I have to boil the head right after I get home from a hunting trip.

Pre-order did have some delay but knew up front it was likely a September ship time frame so not terrible.

Been waiting to see these arrive! Ordered one as well, but no shipment yet. After just boiling a spike of my own I too have high hopes for a handoff effective method. My old cooker is officially in the garbitch.

Directions say to clean it with with Isopropyl alcohol before first use as some orange coloring will bleed off from the mold process.

It did slightly discolor the paper towel as seen in the picture.

Need step is fill with water and dish soap and run between 145-160* to break down the release agents.

Super easy to set temperatures. I used hot tap water to speed the process which was about 120*

Prepped the spike skull by removing brain and eye balls and any loose meat i could get to quickly
