In winter, when wood stoves are usually used, the air is very dry inside, so it makes sense you use the wood stove which is keeping your cabin warm to also humidify the air. Also the point of the stove fan is to spread the hot air evenly in the space.
Those large Dutch Oven types are overkill for home defence, what is called for is a smaller 2.5-qt sauce pan, delivering scalding liquid justice into the face of any assailant whilst keeping collateral splash back to a minimum. My preference is the Humboldt 5000 series, it's ribbed so can be used as a bludgeon after emptying its contents. Excellent warranty too.
That thing just looks evil. Nobody needs a high capacity assault pot like that, a simple 1qt size is plenty for 99% of peoples sporting and self defense needs
Hot water was way more common to throw on an assailant from a castle than was a mix of hot water and the much more expensive oil as for the latter you'd never throw that shit by the liter. Ever.
Yes. That's going to give you a few seconds to make up your mind about how you're going to hurt them worse. If your next plan is kitchen knife your a lost cause and I don't know how to help you get to a phone to inform them a person trying to murder you failed.

injuring home intruders is a mistake (in many areas anyway)
and I cannot see many other scenarios where you would have boiling water available for defense
perhaps
You would have to keep constantly filling it and boiling new water when it turns into steam though
just catch the steam as condensation and funnel it back into the pot
based moron
that's actually how later steam cars worked
blessed moron
Just seal the pot really tightly so the water can't boil off.
You also want biggest pot possible for maximum efficiency.
Also keep it close all the time.
i know you joke but those of us who still use wood stoves (not me, i use gas) usually have a pot of water on it as a humidifier

Yes, yes it is
>as a humidifier
Was that the purpose? I thought it was just practical to have hot water whenever. Also it adds a function to it.
Wood and gas stoves dry your home out.
T. moron

Th-thanks old me.
Get a protective coating and coat it with it.
So you are lighting a fire, which dries the air, via heat, then you boil water to have moisture in the air...
Why does this feel like the wood stove powered fan from India?

depends on said pan's ability to survive a human skull i guess
I mostly use it for tea.
Ask the Canadians
Frick around and find out.
pot of boiled gun for dinner american is very funny hahahaha

what is the purpose of such ribs? chaos pot?
For your boiling pleasure.
What actually is that pot though? I feel I've been super trolled by googling Humboldt 5000 series.
slightly effective on exposed flesh, but with clothes you may just enrage your victim and end up with your neck snapped.
Maybe.
yeah
Boiling Ammonia...I imagine it work.
Moron
If youre defending a castle war maybe
I wouldn't turn one down but it takes a bit to bring water to a boil.
This. Maybe if the ATF is laying siege to your home.
>"Oy, ole up, m8, lemme git a kettle on, yeah?"
You got a loicense for that kettle?

That and flaming arrows always makes me giggle in movies.
It works against sheboons
It worked pretty well in Nobody.
yes, if you are defending against witches

Wait. What if you used the steam to move a piston?
Oil is better.
I threw a pot of boiling water at an intruder once. I mean, it turned out to be my dad, but it still repelled him.
It wasn't the water, anon :/
Was it the spaghetti I was making?
I once threw a cup of freshly brewed, steaming coffe at someone. Gave me enough time to frick off right quickly
No, it's a challenge.
Boiling water won’t do shit if you have clothes on
>throw boiling water into his face
>donk his head with the put
It will lose a lot of heat travelling through the error and won’t cause burns
it will be enough to get some hits in.
Go experiment with it to show us, be sure to put it on youtube
>Wont do shit with clothes on
Black person it actually does more because it seeps in and most of it doesn't just fall off.
A coffee pot hot plate would make more sense.
can be
but better look into methods for instant steam generation

British explorers: 1
Vietcong: 0
It worked on these Black folk.

if you're an old dago mom preparing a beautiful meal, yes
add sugar to it
Better off with boiling oil
If you have to use water mix sugar in so it sticks to skin
Learnt that from the American expats in china
has anyone tried hunting whitetail deer with boiling water?
yes
Bump
Smart man's flame thrower.
