The secret to good picking is a thorough, accurate scald. This home unit works well when you have just a few chickens, quail, gamebirds, ducks and even small turkeys to process. Its heavy-duty, 110v heating element has a thermostat that is adjustable from 120 to 175 deg F. The tank is made of fiberglass and is easy to clean and maintain. It measures 20" x 20" x 20", with an interior depth of 18", and weighs 30 lbs (not recommended for commercial or heavy use).
