Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Aluminum buffet pans work great, heats more limb area than a pot and you dont have to worry about ruining the old ladys good cooking pot..... ;D

Got to the Primitive Archer Main page, click on the Slippery Elm article. There's a picture of a pot/foil setup for steaming a bow.

Plenty of good pots, not so many good old ladies, just an observation on my part.

Yes Dano, and you can get another good one at Walmart.  The pot that is. Justin

After a particular incident several years ago where the blanket encasing my steam pipe caught fire while I was in the basement and nearly burned the kitchen, if not the whole house down, I haven't been able to steam wood in the house by order of the Illustrious Potentator, aka; Queenie.  It's all heat gun in the basement or boiling osage on the barbie outside for me.
