How's this look for a rust blueing stove? Two 30,000 BTU burners. $114 shipped.  32 5/8" X 14" cook top. I checked the Pdf manual & the wind screens slip in. I thought I could modify the ones on the side so that my 6" X 6" X 40" boiling tank would slip down into them.

A kitchen stovetop works just as well. Dont ask how I know. No, I am not married. http://www.facebook.com/profil...p?id=100001646464847 A.M. Little Bespoke Gunmakers LLC 682-554-0044 Michael08TDK@yahoo.com | |||

Probably would work OK. You might get a considerable amt of flame from the round burners up the sides of a 6x6 tank though. Lay a heat deflector/tent along side the front and back of the tank to get better efficiency. A simple piece of sheet metal does it. The ends are open but thats OK. It'll heat up much faster with them propped up there. In the end all it has to do is get the water to boil for 10 or 15 minutes each time. I used all sorts of different stove top setups back when. Even electric hot water tank heater elements fitted into a fiberglass flowerbox when I didn't have a gas hook up available. Is that stove the one in the Gander Mtn ad.. | |||

Looks like a great place to start. Though I would just get two 65k btu turkey driers and start there opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

That option has already been considered. Too bad ours is a "glass" cooktop & has sides that extend about 3/4" above the top. GOOGLE HOTLINK FIX FOR BLOCKED PHOTOBUCKET IMAGES https://chrome.google.com/webs...inkfix=1516144253810 | |||

I used an old Garcia propane camp stove with steel shelving around it to reflect the heat and keep the wind out.

Cabelas & a lot of other places have them. The big thing is the price range. I've seen them for as much as $169.99 to a low of $85. The $85 listing has shipping @ $29 for a total of $114. Considering where I live & the weight of this thing, I think I'll be hard pressed to get it shipped for anything less than $29. It looks like it would be handy to have around the farm & it will probably go into the trailer for camping duty too. As far as only boiling the water for 15 minutes? It should only take this sucker a short time to get to a boil I think. GOOGLE HOTLINK FIX FOR BLOCKED PHOTOBUCKET IMAGES https://chrome.google.com/webs...inkfix=1516144253810 | |||

I have not used one for bluing, but those burners are great for cooking on the porch in hot weather. We use ours for canning, boiling corn or pasta, and for scalding chickens. If I can find an big enough tank, I might try parkerizing. Jason | |||

That's what I thought. Since we are putting in a big garden this year & wifey will be doing a lot of canning, this looks like it would be handy for a lot more than rust blueing. GOOGLE HOTLINK FIX FOR BLOCKED PHOTOBUCKET IMAGES https://chrome.google.com/webs...inkfix=1516144253810 | |||

Do what I did, go to your local metal-supply shop and buy a sheet of 1/4" steel plate to cover the whole shebang. Your tank sits on top of it, you get no flame roll-out, and no hot spots in your tank which can sometimes cause colour variations in your final blue. | |||

Those tube legs look a little iffy to hold a tank of boiling water. There are cast oron three burner propane stoves for around $40 that look a lot stronger. | |||

Care to post a link, or @ least a brand name so I can do a search? GOOGLE HOTLINK FIX FOR BLOCKED PHOTOBUCKET IMAGES https://chrome.google.com/webs...inkfix=1516144253810 | |||

That's about as long as I leave the parts in for a boiling cyle doing cold rust,,15 minutes,,sometimes a bit less. I used to do alot of express rust blueing and still do some for smaller parts. But for the most part I've gone to slow rust for bbls now. Getting the tank to the boiling point quick will save you propane and that stuff doesn't get any cheaper. I wish I'd had something like this years ago instead of the mis-fit, made up contraptions I made do with! Glad the Gander ad saved a few buck for you.. | |||

I've been looking @ all the camp stove accessories available for it. "Pre-seasoned" cast iron gridles, dutch ovens W/deep frying baskets & grill boxes. I think this sucker will be seeing a lot more use for camping & canning than rust blueing. At keast that what I plan to tell Wifey.

northern tools lists the 3-burner at $89 but I have seen them for less. I would suggest that you use distilled water at least for the first time. Good luck! | |||
