Burning Corn 2006, Day Five

Today is day five of burning corn in the new style Traeger burn pot. I would have to say I am cautiously optimistic. It has really been going quite well. Five days and I have been running the same burn pot. I have not poked or prodded at the fire and clinker, hoping to just see how it goes un-attended.

I can't give it an unequivocal thumbs up though because we have been having some warm days and because I am buying bagged corn and ran out on Sunday when the Co-op was closed. So, the fire has not been burning hard or continuously. So it is really hard to say for sure. Still though, five days of burning in a Trager pot without having to dig out clinker or swap out the pot for cleaning, seems really hopeful.
