I converted an old dryer into a fur tumbler. Fist thing I did was open the back of the dryer and cut all the wires except the ones that turn the drum. Those two wires I attached to the end of an old drop cord so it will run off 110V. instead of 220V. I then duct taped the holes on inside of the drum closed. It's then ready to tumble furs...
I toss in some corncob horse bedding like this... www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/best-cob-premium-horse-bedding
2-4 cups is what I use and add more as it needs it....
Here is a coon that was wet and muddy when I skinned it. I then hung it to dry overnight...
Up close...
Same coon after tumbling for about 8-10 min (you can put 5-6 coons in there at a time) ...
Closer up...
I know guys complain the dryers don't do as a good of a job as the big drums, and that you need expensive media in it, but this works good enough for me.
