Aluminum buffet pans work great, heats more limb area than a pot and you dont have to worry about ruining the old ladys good cooking pot..... ;D

Got to the Primitive Archer Main page, click on the Slippery Elm article. There's a picture of a pot/foil setup for steaming a bow.

Plenty of good pots, not so many good old ladies, just an observation on my part.

After a particular incident several years ago where the blanket encasing my steam pipe caught fire while I was in the basement and nearly burned the kitchen, if not the whole house down, I haven't been able to steam wood in the house by order of the Illustrious Potentator, aka; Queenie.  It's all heat gun in the basement or boiling osage on the barbie outside for me.
