I have been using a plywood steam box for a couple years. It has delaminated over time.
i have to make a new one. I hear many people use PVC. I tried some scrap sewer pipe (schedule 20). It melted quicker than butter in a frying pan.
I've heard many people use 40 or 80 or abs pipe to good effect as steam chambers. However, wouldn't they all be pretty susceptible to melting?
All of their temperature ratings are below 200 deg.
I'd like not to have to make another wood box. Pipes of different sizes would be cheaper and more versatile for my purposes.
Have any of you used schedule 40 or 80 pvc with a steam generator?
