    I use my nail pry bar to dig all the wood out of the channels. I got enough to roast a hog on the last one I cleaned.

    Ive seen those in use to clean a trailer. They work great on regular dirt but soaking wet clumps of wood chips need something more powerful like a pressure washer.

    Don't think even a pressure washer could remove the bigger chunks wedged in the channels though.

    I'll never go through all the trouble of doing this. We already do too much that we don't get paid for so they're not getting more free labor out of me,
