Couple Questions About Grinder Hash-Please & Thank you

Hello. I have a grinder & want to clean it so I can get a little bit of hash for my L trip tonight. I've done this in the past but I think I may have done it wrong because in the past I let my grinder soak for a long time in the iso alcohol instead of 30 seconds to a minute. I have some questions if someone could answer them for me. Thank you.
1. When you soak the grinder in iso alcohol are you only supposed to let the grinder soak for under a minute? My grinder is really dirty & I don't think that it is going to get cleaned in just a minute of soaking.
2. Is it bad to use a pot of hot water (putting the plate on top) to quickly evaporate the iso alcohol? Or should I just let it evaporate in the open air. (Time isn't much of an issue)
Any tips, advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Have a good day.

I dont let mine sit for more than 3 minutes. Usually after 2-3 everything is off though. I use my grinder practically until I can't turn it because it's so gummed up. I wouldn't just because of fire hazard and fumes, I put a heating pad under my glass dish and use a fan. Gets it dry in 8-12hrs. sometimes i will heat water to put underneath but I don't have an open flame anywhere near so if you boiled the water to get it hot, then turned it off, it will work. Just my preference though some people do open flame/double boiler.

This may be a dumb question, but what's wrong with just smoking the kief?
I used to have a friend who had an iso-2 isomerizer, the deal was this machine and chemicals (Isopropyl alcohol,sulfuric acid) could transform inactive cannabinoids into active THC.
It worked, though the iso-hash taste gnarly and was not that much better than weed itself...

I have never heard of someone making iso-hash from keif, but I'm interested...
Are you just boiling your grinder in IPA?, then evaporating the solvent?
I'm very interested in this...

Essentially it's more for just getting all the stuck on kief off the grinder. The bottom of my kief catcher is "ribbed" almost? So when scraping it out it gets packed down in there. Just dunking, no boiling.

You may get oil if left too long, but you can add some weed powder and make the improvised hash known as squidgy black 
1. I just chip off that type off hash the solid stuff no alcahol needed 2. A hot water bath or hot plate is a good and safer way of speeding up evap

Hey, thank you newshroomer123 for the advice.
Hello coincidentiaoppositorum, there is no kief at the bottom of the grinder. What I'm trying to get out is all that gunk that gets in the grinder after long-term usage. You know the green looking pasty stuff you get in the grinder?

That's what I figured, still, interesting stuff.

Though keif is trichomes that have fallen off the plant, I consider the "dust" composed of trichomes and plant matter that collect in the bottom of your grinder kief as well.

You know when you have had a few ounces in a jar, and when the jar is empty you have a massive layer of golden brown/light green trichomes/plant matter that have stuck to the bottom of the jar? This is kief.
When you have a grinder with a screen, all the "dust" that falls through the screen is trichomes/plant matter, and is also called kief...
Are you speaking of something other than this?

Just got done with the procedure. I used a minimal amount of iso alcohol so it should evaporate quicker. Now I'm just waiting for it to evaporate. Thanks for all the advice & replies guys. Have a good day.

I've never done this. My grinder came with a kief scooper thing and I just use that.

I did it here. soaked mine for a long time, evaporated on the windowsill. I also soaked the mouthpiece of my wax vape which was filled with reclaim. It came out resembling res that your scrape from a pipe closer than anything else. Still got me pretty high.
