Just a hint - if you cut a slot in the side of one of those 35 gal (more or less) plastic drums, and hang the electric iron inside, out of the wind - they re-heat a LOT quicker, and stay hot better. (Handy height, too)
We use a 5 gal bucket with about a gallon of ant hill sand to knock the burnt hair off the iron after every animal - just kind of twist the iron into it a couple of times - and you can keep up the speed.
