: Here’s a theory: Maybe your wood was getting too hot. If you vent your
: steamer better this will bring down the temperature of the wood.

hi Roger;
agreed. at 1 1/2 minutes, before i made the vents bigger, it was too hot. after, it was just right. all this leads me to beleive that because all steamers are vastly different there will be no way to "write the book" on steam bending.
as the ribs dry i may find that i will have to replace more than just the four i mentioned earlier.
