Well Doug, I have used Muriatic acid, soak heads for about 2 minutes, then rinse with water and blow dry with compressed air. Also works well, needless to say on all your fires. To do the ribbon fire, just remove the screen, soak and re-assemble. This has worked for me for many years, Good Luck! Don
