Sorry to hear about all your smell problems. In early posting I said I never let any thing touch or get into the pot ,only water and my stainless steel cleaning pad. Also dry it well before putting it away. Never had a smell or taste problem. Would suggest puting a pinch of baking soda in the water before distilling to help the taste. The baking soda will be left behind when done distilling. Always let it cool down before cleaning,just use tap water and the stainless pad. I never would use any organic substance for cleaning( lemon,apple,vineagar). :-) bless you Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast [email protected] -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
