Typically a small white, black or stainless box that you put stuff in to heat. Commonly known as a Microwave oven.

I'm sorry, "nuke box" was a tragic attempt at comedy.

Nuke box is a microwave.

I have ceased work on my frydaddy. I am going to write this one off as a loss. I can't get a decent flow and it takes a lot of plastic.

I had/have the same problem. I feel the same way you do. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve that I want to try b4 I write the frydaddy off as a complete loss, dang it I have 2 of them set up to pour, tried the spout in the lower side, then (now) in the bottom.

I'll post what I come up with (if anything works) after I get the chance to mess with them again.

I didnt notice a screw in the bottom (for thermostat adjustment) but I havent really looked for that specifically (yet).

Man I cannot believe how much trouble you guy's are having,
I have the presto pot version and it works great.

[Bad Bouy]

Your set up is sweet PBB. I studied yours prior to attempting mine. I guess the biggest difference between the Presto pots and frydaddys (other than physical size) is the adjustable termostat. Frydaddys dont have these therefore you cant easily alter the temperature. I can only achieve about 335 degrees fahrenheit with either of mine. Rumors (on this board) have it that there is a screw that can be tweeked to alter the temps, but as of yet I havent really looked for it.

the fry daddy wouldn't make a good pourer just because the aren't adjustable I don't think they would work very good.I had an old sunbeam fryer/cooker I started to modify this for a melting pot it goes up to 450 degrees I think It will work great I need to finish the stand this week and I'll trial this weekend can't wait

I just finished drilling and tapping my first Presto Pot.

I went with a 1/4" valve and put it on the bottom just outside of the heating element.

Has anyone used the one from Ozark. Hopw does it pour with heavy salt and glitter. Does it keep the plastic hot without burning etc.?

[152nd Street Baits]

Somebody please explain this to me. If you have to prepare your plastic, salt, color, etc. in the microwave before you transfer it to the pouring pot, where is the advantage? Are there any pots that have their own stirring system and you can prepare the mixture in them as well? Thanks!

I use the Ozark pouring pot set up on a 10 inch table top drill press with a paint stirrer to keep everything mixed up. For stick baits, I put in 1 quart of Plastic, softener, salt, colorant and glitter then heat the entire batch in the pouring pot. I pour an average of 1 gallon of plastic a day using this system. Keep it simple. Any questions, PM me.
