Campfire Pots cleaned the easy way

[zelph]

I accidently found that liquid chafer fuel will clean the caked on creosote and other goodies from your seasoned cooking pots. (liquid, not gelled alcohol)

Let pot bottom soak overnight in shallow dish of fuel.

That stuff from GFS is excellent.I use it instead of alcohol,and it's cheap for a 6 hour burn.Keep a 12 pack in the van all the time.

Wow that worked out great, personally though I like my fire cookin pots to be sooty and black on the bottom, gives them character.

Me, too. But this is a cool way, if I ever did want to clean them. Thanks!

A preventative measure is to coat the pot with liquid dish soap and let it dry before you go out. Rinses right off when you are done.

That has never really worked for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Anyway, my Snowpeak 900 is filthy and is actually harder to work with because of the caked on gunk that seems to give all over in spite of being stored in a separate stuff sack.

hehe, same here. But!!! the one in the video was beyond my acceptance for it's character. It's my favorite pot for testing alcohol stoves also so it had to be cleaned.
