Its a RIVAL Hot pot express with adjustable thermostat.  I think
the model number was 4070.  It cost me about $10 at Wal Mart.  Big, wide
spout.

Also, I would like to set the record straight about climates.  South Dakota is
not dry.  Someone (I deleted the post too fast) was implying that Texas has
more moisture in Dallas than South Dakota.  I have a brother who lives in
Dallas.  It is very dry there compared to eastern South Dakota (Yes, there is
a difference between eastern and western South Dakota).  I experience both
very humid and dry climates (depending on the time of year).  I CALL IT MONEY
IN THE BANK <g>.

I have noticed a difference of using fabric softner hot or cold.  If I use it,
I warm it in a micro wave first.  It gets sucked right in the material.  I
mainly use it on hard leather action parts now.
