John do you have good success with buckets? I know les does, I ask cause every time I use buckets my bto turns out watery from internal condensation. I'll never use aquarium stones again I had a unexpected storm come thru and it ruined 10 gallons of rendering tails! Apparently water flows thru them like nothing

I don't leave any 'hair' on mine. I slit it from the 'butt' end twice, leaving 3 equal pieces, not even cutting all the way through. I then fold it and shove it into a gallon glass jar and screw down the lid. I never 'gas it' with a tube, but will check it several times, opening the jar. I set it right in the direct sun, starting in late Feb. / Early March. Never had a problem and have made a bunch of good oil !

Agreed LT, no hair goes into mine The hair end stays on the bone and gets shoved into a dirt hole Is there any harm in leaving the hair and bone in there?

NO it wont hurt a thing just a matter of preference the hair will just stay in the jar with all the other nonrendering sludge.I've added it and subtracted it never saw one ounce of difference. Other then it takes more tails if you start taking away parts that will still render down.If your plan to sell it the cleaner more refine parts leave you with a cleaner oil that requires less straining.

Has anyone tried using a pressure cooker to make bto? Can you explain how you did it ? Gave it a puff. Filled a pressure cooker full of tail pcs. Cooked it for 45 minutes to get the temp weight to wiggle. Not sure how much oil is rendered usually produced?

John do you have good success with buckets? I had a unexpected storm come thru and it ruined 10 gallons of rendering tails! Apparently water flows thru them like nothing Yes Tony, but I keep them under a black upside down tote outside or in a hayloft, to keep rain off. I keep my buckets (with air stones) inside an old chest freezer that quit working....double fly and weather protection.

I' ll try my luck with buckets one more time. But 'ill put those black molasses drums over them this should aid in rendering time as well. But I am done with air stones! The plastic these days is to cheap to handle the uv rays! After one season my air stones are so rotten and brittle wind will break them off. Maybe air stones in a bottle of water might be the answer! But honestly on bto I just snug the lids and roll with it . ill burp my jars every other day and be fine

I need to go to the valve stem system my self. Bob your system looks to be the most fool proof of all of them!

I need to go to the valve stem system my self. Bob your system looks to be the most fool proof of all of them! I'd have to agree with that. The last couple 5 gal buckets of bait I made, I didn't take Bob's advice...thought the air stones would be ok. They are so fragile, I broke 4 of them just moving sheets off of them, that I had covering the buckets. What a PITA! I offered to give Tony the rest of my supply of them...but he wasn't biting...lol. Next batch I make will have the tire valves. Thanks again Bob, for sharing that tip.

if you put those valve stems in backwards cant you leave the core in and the cap off?

Maybe my buckets aren't as air tight as your guys but I quit venting plastic 5 gallon buckets. I never had a problem with them pressuring up and I did 7 buckets of horse, bobcat , and deer scraps without any issues. I use the snap on removable lids. I've had the same results the snap on lids with orings in the lids snap on tight enough to keep out flys but yet release all built up gases I still like the insurance policy a vent gives! Over time the orings dry and crack allowing bugs to penetrate your bucket. This takes 3-4 years but can and does happen. Just bto no worrys once oil starts producing flys don't bother it anymore
