Hi,
I read a long time ago that you can microwave your used charcoal / carbon clean it and use it again and again. Anybody else ever hear of that or did I dream that up? LOL

Thanks for the input

I've heard of it, although its true...it can't be done at home unless your oven heats closer to ~ 1000 degress F, I'm also pretty sure it has to be done in a vacuumed enviroment...its cheaper to just buy more or buy it bulk in 50lb bags.

Good question Marty.

Agreed, it's probabaly not worth the work, considering how inexpensive new carbon is...
