Q&A

What is the heat temperature range of the 5SCLD Single Heating Element Scalder?
The thermostat is adjustable from 120 to 175 degrees F.

How many birds will this scalder fit. Will it also fit a turkey.
This home unit works well when you have just a few chickens, quail, game birds, ducks, and even small turkey to process. Ideally, you would dunk one bird at a time into the scalder. Water gets murky after about 15 or so birds, so would need to start over with fresh water.

Does it have a drain?
No the electric scalder does not have a drain plug. To empty the unit you need to carefully tip it over on its side.

Can you adjust the temperature on this scalder?
This scalder comes with a thermostat and it is adjustable. The one listed separately on the website is a replacement and also adjustable.

What does the replacement element look like? Does it also include the square metal mount that screws into the tub?
The replacement element is one piece. It connects to the square metal bracket and has wire terminals on the outside.
