Go skid some firewood. ....they clean right up.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Typical 'fire thread, multiple pages, same answer repeated over and over with a measure of off topic nonsense thrown in for good measure. This place has gotten to be a playground for idle minds with nothing better to do, surprized nothing political has been mentioned yet.

Miles - understood what you were wanting to do and am glad that you got 'er done. But, do try that honey/sap method sometime.
gunswizard, why not put that idle mind to work - which Pres candidate reminds you of a rusty 18" chain - or a cement mixer - or an armadillo?

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have a couple of small pieces of chain that I want to paint, but they have rust on them. I also have a small cement mixer, and was thinking that I could use it to clean up the chain, but what medium to use. Would regular gravel work, or too big? I wish I had some pea gravel to try, but do not. Any ideas out there? miles Dump it in a bucket with apple cider vinegar, but be ready to paint it the minute you take it out and wash it off or rust will come back very quickly.

Will have to buy the U-bolts that hold them on, as they were worn pretty bad and one twisted off when trying to remove it. That got a little trickier than expected. After going to several hardware stores, I got on the net and looked around. Got some ordered and just hope they are the correct ones. Diameter is correct and they are for attaching chains to a swaybar hitch. No other size in the order place to check against what I have. Cheap enough, but still a gamble. miles

One time I mixed coke and vinegar in a bucket and tossed in an old rusty log chain. I forgot about it for 3 weeks, when I finally remembered and pulled it out of the bucket, it was a rope.  Does anybody know how to un-rope a [bleep] chain?
Something clever here.

Hardware store closed? A few links of chain should run you about $5.
Camp is where you make it.

There certainly has been a lot of pulling the chain here lately. Who's pulling whose chain....wait...what...oh...cleaning the chain...never mind..
