    How do YOU clean your kettle?

    Check out the following link for nearly all of the current HF coupons. I came across this site a little while ago, and seeing that many of the projects we do require one or two use tools, this site has been awesome: Harbor Freight Coupon Thread - SlickDeals.net Forums
