Rendering animal fats.......sun render or heat or doubleboiler.....skunk fat....coon....mink....otter fat.....that is the question......coon and skunk will render just sitting in a five gallon sealed bucket in the shop.....didn't have any experience with mink otter as they are close cousins to each other

Monitor the man made heat source and you can do it either way, sun render or double boiler. Direct heat sourcing can scorch the material and change the odor if you aren't careful. Ask me how I know this.:)

sun gives you the same consistency every time if flys or other forces don't screw you up. I've got 2 hot boxes but sun trumps them once it gets burning hot.

The seal on a five gallon bucket will collapse and let the excess gas to exit then reseal.....that is what I do on tainting cat meat.....once in a great while little squiglies will get by but not very high percentage.

That's why I stretch a paint rag over the pail before I snap the lid down. The squigglies don't get by that.
