spray Pam on your snowblower to prevent clogging

I use EZ-Slide, a graphite paint, on my blower chute. ~~ grnspot110

Never tried it myself but what about KY - That stuff seems pretty slick.:laughing: Of course your wife might wonder what you are doing haulling it all out to the shed.

Go with the "Pam" it may not be the best but you will get some comedy relief
( interesting language)

when the wife needs it and finds that you used it all.

I smear a stick of butter on the inside of my chute / impeller housing before each storm. :thumbsup:

You sir, apparently aren't worried about your snow machine's cholesterol!

After finding out from my brother (tree surgeon) that he and all his colleagues use vegetable oil for their chain-lube in their saws, I use it too, but realised that it might work to keep the snow off things.

I now have an old paint spray-gun with it's pot full of sunflower oil... whenever the back-blade and bucket end up dry, I give them a good coat of oil. .... and nothing sticks. Same for the tractor itself: A light dusting on the wheels, axles underbelly makes sure that no snow sticks

I use nothing. I keep the snowblower at the same temperature as outside. I do not have problems with it sticking except after snow blowing I have to keep auger cable engaged, because the snow will melt down and freeze linkage up, when I start it again it will thaw out shortly after.

I used to spray Pam on my cross country skis, and it worked real well. I haven't skied in a few years, and since discovered Fluid Film. If I ever get the skis out again, I would use FF instead of Pam.

Based upon comments I read on TBN, I picked up some FF at a local NAPA store and used it on my snowblower and a metal shovel. Today we got a nice sticky, wet snow - and while I have never had a problem with chute clogging, when I was done there was very little snow packed into the usual corners, and what there was broke free with ease. It also did a great job keeping the snow from sticking to the shovel, which has always been a PITA.

Fluid Film may be one of the best tips I have picked up in a while, and is one I will share with others.

I've been using black Graphite for a long time ,works well for me,
I also spray the loader bucket and the backhoe bucket once in a while !

Use what ever lubricant available on hand. Maybe not green nor eco friendly.
.
But to my credit - I do buy a spray can of cheap vegtable oil based no - stick pan lubricant every winter - and living in A Great Lakes Snow Belt Area - must say - I make it through each winter okay with great success.

How many ways can it be said - this is a no-brainer?
