				 Cleaning a cob 
 
			
			It seems like I could use a whole box of q-tips on my cob shanks and they would still come out a light tan color.  I think the pine really absorbs the juice.
 Do you guys try to get them perfectly clean?  Has anyone used a retort?  I wonder how this would work for cleaning.
 
 Also, I've noticed they don't really seem to be building up that much cake?  I wonder if this is normal.  Not that they need a cake, but I don't wipe out the bowl when I'm done with them.
