Got a moose a week ago and need to finish cleaning the skull. Any ideas besides the typical propane stone and a garbage can with slots cut in it? I don’t have much room to work and don’t own these things. Anyone in anchorage area have equipment for doing a moose euro that they would let me buy/rent/borrow? Thanks! Pic of my bull attached.

Look into maceration on the internet. Smells like hell but it is a good method.

I’m not against boiling/simmering. I’ve done many deer. But the way these moose antlers come straight out the side of the head will make it tricky and I don’t have the equipment

I'm struggling with the exact same issue and I gave up on the idea of the Euro when it started rotting in my yard and cut it down to just the skull cap.

Based on my research, I think using a hot water pressure washer is the easy button if you have access to one.

I use a 45 gallon drum that I cut down to about half size and a crab pot boiler (propane) to boil traps. That should be big enough to simmer a moose skull. I've done deer this way and it doesn't seem to have an effect on antlers. The key will be getting as much meat, eyes, brains out/off as possible first.

Pressure wash it before you put it in the pot you can usually get it down to almost all bone
