Re: moldy grain grinder - hlep!

[Guest guest]

I can't picture a grinder that has wood like you say - mine are metal

and the electric one is plastic. If there are parts you can't get to,

running some rocksalt through might help as it inhibits the growth of a

lot of kinds of mold and could clean out grains that were left behind

to mold. You'd want to oil the metal parts before and after that tho

so the salt doesn't rust them. If there is mildew into the grain of

the wood, tho, I don't know how to get that out!

when I got it out to use, I discovered that it has a moldy smell in the

wood. Is it salvagable and if so, what can I do to kill the mold? Or

do I just save the motor and have a new box built?
