I hope your using the toe or foot part!

I use a wire mesh colander then cut a piece of cheese cloth big enough to double over. Place the doubled cheese cloth in the colander and pour the oil through it. It drains fast and cleans it well.

I use the cheapest vegetable oil I can buy. As far as straining....I bust the end of the bottle off on the edge of the bar and strain it through my teeth

Been watching to many Eastwood movies

Reply: Well using the strainer works for me. Some guys use an auto paint strainer, but the stone filter is clean and sterile.

Try it it works quite well.

I use Canola Oil strain it through a wire mesh screen. Would like to make a setup to use a better filter.

I use paint strainers i get from sherman willains.. There about a buck.. There bigger then the paint straners u get from a auto parts store..

I picked up a mesh strainer that goes into your sink drain at Walmart for about $1. I put the strainer inside my funnel and pour the oil directly back into the jug.

coffee filters. same as we use in the bunn . slow but works great .

Use a large funnel and filters from Bass Pro. Never tried the cheese trick. Will have to give it a go.
