Bruce,

Thanks for the input.


" WHY are you making soap in aluminum pots?  Sound like asking for trouble.
Lye dissolves aluminum."


We don't let the lye get in the aluminum pots, as it does eat em, we just
heat the vegetable oils in the aluminum and add them to the lye solution in
5 gallon buckets.

The burner problem has disappeared  for now as I adjusted the burners and
she's letting it ride, possibly because the August Temperatures in the soap
room make the need for added heat less important.
