I wonder if there is any reason you couldn't use the same method with a stuffer?

I wrap a frozen cold wrap around the throat and bottom of the auger. This keep the friction down that causes the fat to melt.

Ya know the athletic freezer things you put in one of them elastic wraps

I put a little piece of bread in the spice grinder too after we use it...still not convinced enought to use the same grinder for coffee tho...but it does work enough to clean spices out so we can't really taste the last thing we ground in it.

Grinding rice works really good for cleaning your burr style spice grinder. You still won't be able to use it for coffee, but it does a great job removing traces of oil from the stronger spices, which if left in the grinder may ruin you next spice blend.

I'll try the rice Habs...thanks for the idea. We do grind a lot of spices for rubs and the like...some of them for currys are pretty potent and it gets tough removing them for another dish. Another tip from Iron Habs!!:)
