Tom, I suggest 1800 degrees F. for 30 minutes in a well ventalated boiler. Seriously... I don't have a clue. Is there any possibility you could ask the seller what's on it? Surely he knows.

I would try to bury it in baking soda. Put it in a 5 gal. bucket and douse it inside and out with a couple of boxes. That or crushed charcoal might be better. Clean charcoal briquettes..the kind with no accelerant. Either of these should go some way towards taking out whatever is in it. Put the lid on the bucket and shake it around good every few days for a couple of weeks. The charcoal should pull out the stink.

Good Luck!

Jerry
