    I use the leg from an old 1w resistor held in a pair of hemostats. Works great.

    I recently had this happen on my Lee Pot while melting some ingots from wheel weights I had purchased at an estate sale that were particularly dirty, and I ended up having to take the rod out to get a small plug of trash that had managed to get between the rod and the orifice of the valve.

    It was an easy enough fix

    A paper clip and propane torch take care of most of my plugging problems.

    The rest went away when I made sure to use only clean alloy.

    From Full Lead Taco's youtube video, put some candle wax on a spoon. Put that spoon under the bottom spout and allow the wax to melt into the spout.

    I tried it and it worked. Didn't have to do any poking.
