Blindhogg was correct, of course; the little Harbor Freight stove (a two burner version of this one)I have was not qite enough to pump the prerequisite BTU’s into the bluing tank, it took five hours instead of twenty minutes. And the blue is still a little spotty. I’ll hunt with it this winter, and reblue it in the spring, or after season.

I had to surround the tank with blocks and bricks to keep the heat in, and at the end even put a tin sheet over the top to keep the rainwater from cooling it down. THe wind was just taking heat out faster than I could put it in.

I’m gonna buil;d a stand to put it all on, and make some “regular” burners for the tanks, so I can have a boil/degrease tank and a cooldown tank going too. Probably make myself some homemade pipe burners like these as well

Still, the Marlin is not embarrasing, and in fact isn’t horrible at all. Just needs to be pointed at some deer, is all.
