I got a big pot from Cabelas years ago to short my time to boil my traps over a wood fire that will dye them, then use a LP burner to wax them after. I been doing this since I started trapping . As for conibears I just cold dip in a rubber mix with gas that I bought from the fur buyer I had deal with many years ago and bought what he had left at the time. I let those traps hang till the smell is off of gas. then done with them.

All my land traps are powder coated. So It's a few minutes to power wash and dry and set. But I do miss the fall trap boiling well I think I do. LOL You guys have some nice set ups.
