Cleaning multiple pieces in a tank at same time?

[CaryW]

I grabbed some rusty stuff this weekend because I want to set up a tank.

Can I do a dutch oven and lid suspended if I use a jumper wire off of the - clamp to the other piece?

Also my buddy and I were discussing cleaning the inside of his big cauldron/kettle.

Could you fill it with the solution and just hang the + anode in the middle of the pot since the entire pot would be the ground?

Yes, but if either piece is between the other and the sacrificial anode the blocking piece will inhibit the cleaning of the other.

Sure. That's a good way to do the inside of a large piece. Also a technique used on a smaller scale for tea kettles.

Thanks!

This combines my love for cooking and satisfies my inner geek.
