[quote:bfb9d75da7="zero"]Best thing is to break it all up and put it in your blender a bit at a time. When you turn it on, grab the blender with one hand on bottom and one hand on top over the lid, secure tightly and shake it up and down as it grinds the bark. This way the bark bounces around and all gets ground pretty well.[/quote:bfb9d75da7]    That's what I was doing when I realized my blender is not heavy duty  Just made smoke and a really bad smell before it died.    One question! How fine do you make it. Does it need to be totally powdered? Or is finely shredded ok?
