Hello,
I found a beater Old Town Pack from the 1970's. The plastic gunnels are brittle and sunburned badly so the plan is to re-new with Ash. I need to steam bend them to fit the wide, curvy and short hull. I have a pot but can't get enough steam with charcoal briquettes. I have never steamed wood before so this is a learning experience. So my question is, what heat source works for those of you who have steamed wood before??
Thanks in advance for advice on this.
Larry
