Gator Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think I may have royally screwed up my grinder. Ground some deer New Years eve, and forgot to run the dishwasher that day, and the meat sat in the throat of the tube for 3 days. Didn't think much of it when I got home, and ran the dishwasher. Well, the meat that was in there didn't come out, and is stuck and stuck good to the metal tube. I have been soaking it since last week, and have it in a pot on the stove with Dawn dishsoap and will turn the burner on and get it to a boil, and then simmer for a couple of hours, and yet STILL stuck. I don't know what else to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Man, that sounds nasty! I'd say simmer away till it's gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Better yet, put some liquid fire drain opener in a pot with it and stand back! I wouldnt leave it forever, but that high pH stuff will eat up some organics fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 liquid fire drain opener Have you ever read all the warnings on that stuff?? I'am afraid to even use it! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 If you were around these parts, I bet you could set it on a fire ant hill and have it clean in less than 3 days.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Wrong time of year for an anthill, next best bet is to put it in the oven on about 175 to 200 to completely dry out the organics and then try to knock/scrape out the dried out remains.

redkneck Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well, if it's a cast alum part, you could possibly eat up the loctite clear coat on the surface that gives it such a smooth coating. If you got stainless steel, get the drano out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 WD-40 ... Might take a few applications, and letting it soak it up, and you can wash the WD-40 out later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Soak it in super hot bleach water until that crap starts to loosen up...then hit it with a high pressure washer - thats what my old man does, and it seems to work. However, you may be at a much farther stage than what he is use to. I've never even heard of liquid fire...sounds like fun though. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Freeze it. Might get it to crack or contract enough to push out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
