Question:
I just purchased a 12 gallon crock with a blue crown. There are no other markings. I don’t think it is Red Wing but not sure. I was hoping to use it to soak fish in salt for smoking. My friends grandpa did this in the past and we wanted to try it. There is a hairline crack on the inside and out. Is there a way to fix the crack or is it best to not use it?
Thanks for any help.
