chicken bones in garbage disposal?

Ok I might be in the wrong place for this question if so the moderator can move it.
I replaced my small under sink badger garbage disposal with a top of the line ISE model 777.The reason I did this is because the smaller badger was not up to even eating potato peels without clogging, I also want to throw chicken bones down it so they do not stink up the trash.
I have been throwing chicken bones in it since day one and it seems to handle it great.
Any reason why I should not continue?I love this high power machine .

 

Some of the higher quality disposals claim they are safe for chicken bones. These usually have steel housing and blades with higher HP motor. Read and follow instructions in owner's manual for operation and maintenance.

 

Ok thanks this is one of the higer end units from ISE with a 1 hp motar high torque auto reverse etc.
I dont cram all in at once just a few at a time so it should be ok .
I will look for the owners book.Thanks for the quick reply this fourm is the best.

 

first, just a couple of questions, do you have the need to eat chicken, with bones, morning, noon and night and then stuff the remnants down the disposal? is your outside trash bin so far away that it takes a part of your day planner to schedule the trip? garbage disposals as a name are a misnomer for home use, the only ones that can stand up to the daily use that you subscribe to are commercial grade types, sure every once in a while(with the disposals you can pick up at the hardware stores) you may be able to hack up a bone or two, but don't think that it will last long, not to mention the existing plumbing has to be capable to handle all the grease and debri.
use it only when needed small stuff always with running warm water don't put clorox or anything into it to make it smell better
(use a handfull of ice two times a month and turn the thing on with water running, that will keep it clean). make sure that when it is used, all of the stuff has been digested/ cleared by running the water. hopes this helps a little.

Thanks for that tip on the ice to keep it clean that makes sense, I have used lemons before for that fresh smell. I do not eat chicken all day long and the reason I do not like the bones in the garbage is it is stored in the gararge and in TX heat it does not take long.
The plumbing is all PVC so not much stick to it.
