Depends on how hot the oil is. The hotter the better (without burning of course) in my opinion. This helps open up the metal between the links to allow the dirt to fall out and the oil to penetrate better.I do 10-15min. How long do you think?

I normally let mine in for a couple of hours. I have left it in overnight and saw no real problems with doing that. Just be sure to let it drip dry before putting it back on the kart. I've got a pegboard hook that I hang mine right over the pot so the excess oil drips back into the pot.
Could be. You'll know if you burn the oil...the whole shop will smell.i might be too hot then. if i forget about them and leave them they will discolor
Better send your wife on a vacation if you are doing it in the house. LolThere are three cubes in a pack (Gulf Wax) like gramma used for canning vegetables. I cut one cube in half. Put the chain and the sprockets in a coffee can after they have been cleaned and blown off. Add enough 30 weight oil to cover all the parts, now add the cube of wax. I then put the coffee can into a frying pan on low heat on the stove with about 1/2" of water in the bottom of the frying pan. The heat now makes air around the pins and links come to the surface and the oil goes into those pores. When the cube of wax melts stir it around for a minute then hang the parts over the can to collect the drippings. You can use this solution over and over adding wax when you don't see the seal forming over the oil when it cools. This all takes less than 20 minutes depending on how hot you bring up the heat on the stove. The crockpot is fine but takes longer. Some people do it on a grill with the coffee can and a tray of water around the coffee can. You just don't want to get the oil so hot you start to burn it. Burnt oil, like Carlson said, stinks. By the way, your wife should be shopping when you use her stove.
