boiling/steaming wood

[healeydays]

According to stat sheet it is adjustable from 140° to 220°

My guess is if you crank it to the 220, the heater isn't gonna last for ever though...

I think you should find out how hot they get?

I dont think they get all that hot.i have taken hot dogs out to purchase without getting to warm. You would not want to do that in my steamer, you would burn yourself quite fast.You need a steady fast boil to keep up the heat.I dont have much experience with small pieces so someone woud have to figure out times for them.would you drill and then boil/steam?Sounds like an opportunity for a future post.

I also have some freshly cut olive wood..
