- Wood burning stoves are a favourite of many hikers and campers. Most of them however don't like their camping pots and pans to become black and sooty. Even after washing the pots, they often remain black. In this video I show you how to clean your black sooty pots and make them shiny again.
best looking solution and easy to find kaolin. thanks buddy.

Green scotch bright scrubbers. 👍
when i was a boy scout we cooked over fires all the time and we didn't bother to scrub the soot off the pots and pans, we just packed along a cotton cloth "soot rag" and used it dry to rub the loose soot off the pots before washing them. the soot rag went into a plastic bag and at the end of the trip it got washed or tossed out if it was really sooty.
Hahaha, yes. We all did that and do so now too. However, there are times when we want to clean the soot out. It is for such times that a process as this or similar to this works wonders.

Good idea.
Good idea my friend, works great ! I hope all is well!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Always appreciate it.

Gotta get some of that ,,, thanks
Water is a precious element. In some regions on earth it’s simply scarce… Washing dishes or any organic meterial with it will cause the water to become unsafe to drink because of bacteria growth and contaminants.
It would be a greener, and perhaps quicker solution, to grab a bunch of leaves, or earth, and use that to clean the pan surface.
You are absolutely right. The objective of the video is to explain a method by which the stainless-steel pot remains clean after using it on wood fire. Have you seen my other video where I have shown how to clean a pan with just 20 ml of water. Take a look here. th-cam.com/video/REmbGqPelAA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kr3wzy-ly3R6KY_K
Do you need to add the Karolin on each time you clean? Or a one time solution for longer usage?
It depends on your needs. I have applied it once, then cooked food. After that I have washed the utensils from inside only. After that I have cooked twice and washed it from inside twice. The kaolin does get caked up. After returning home soaked the utensil in water for half an hour and then washed it. The utensil was sparkling clean. No trace of using it on wood fire at all. Try it.

Great I'm going to see if I can buy this kaolin, appreciate the tips!
If you make a mixture of 3 parts kaolin and 1 part refined wheat flour (used for baking bread) the adhesion to the stainless steel pot will be much better. I also apply multiple layers one over the other to make it thicker. I hate using aluminium pots and hate stainless steel pots getting black due to wood smoke.

Soak the soot pot in very hot water mix with soap detergent for like 10 minutes and the soot will be wash off very easy
That works great where can I get some of that?
New sub here. Thanks for sharing.
You can get it from amazon.
@@The_Solo_Hiker thank you.
can you try this method with titanium material?
Absolutely. Works like a charm.

Is soot on food harmful? Or is it fine
Soot, also known as black carbon, is a fine particle that can be generated from the incomplete combustion of organic materials such as wood, coal, or oil. In general, it is advisable to avoid consuming food that has come into direct contact with soot. While a small amount of incidental exposure may not cause immediate harm, prolonged or excessive ingestion of soot particles can have negative health effects. These particles may contain various toxic substances and pollutants, which can be harmful when ingested in significant quantities. It is best to discard any food that has been contaminated by visible soot. Soot particles can contain a variety of toxic materials, depending on the source of combustion and the composition of the fuel. Some of the common toxic substances found in soot include:
1. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): These are a group of chemicals that are formed during incomplete combustion of organic materials. PAHs are known to be carcinogenic and have been linked to various health issues, including respiratory problems and an increased risk of cancer.
2. Heavy metals: Soot can also contain trace amounts of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. These metals are toxic to the human body and can have harmful effects on the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs.
3. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): VOCs are chemicals that can be released during combustion processes. They include substances like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene, which can have detrimental health effects when ingested or inhaled.
4. Particulate matter: Soot particles themselves, regardless of their chemical composition, can be harmful when inhaled or ingested in large quantities. Fine particulate matter can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, causing respiratory issues and aggravating existing conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.
Given the potential presence of these toxic materials in soot, it is important to exercise caution and avoid consuming food that has come into direct contact with visible soot particles. It’s better to discard such food to minimize the risk of ingesting harmful substances.

@@The_Solo_Hiker appreciate the information. really useful, and a great video

Its baking soda...
No, it is not baking soda. It is kaolin powder. You can get it in most medical stores, or laboratory suppliers, or Amazon.
good info, check me out when you can and lets support each other, thanks be safe
