Something tells me I am not fluxing properly. Something like the gunk a the bottom of the pot...
I use candle wax as once told me long ago, but it only sort of works. I dip and scrape with an old stainless steel tea spoon, (MAN, would Mom be mad if she could see that...), and I still end up with burnt sludge at the bottom. I spent some time today scraping and shaking to get a lot of gunk out before even lighting it off. Being a Lee Ten Pound Production Pot, a bottom pour, I can't simply grab the Dremel with wire wheel attachment, (wish I owned one of those), and zing out the interior.
I've been using this pot for...hmm...about 6 years?
Thoughts, ladies and gentlemen of the silver stream?
