Helpful Hint - Not all ice is created equal. Not all block ice is alike.  Most ice houses offer "compressed block ice".  Compressed Ice is made from small ice chips that are compressed and refrozen into blocks.  Compressed Ice does not work well in a block ice shaver.  As compressed ice thaws it can fall apart while in the machine.  The best block ice is solid, clear block ice.  Solid clear ice is made by filling a container with water and freezing it into a solid block of ice.  Solid block ice can be purchased from some quality ice houses.  Cube ice also comes in various shapes and sizes.  "Flake Ice" from an ice maker will not work in a cube ice shaver.  If you use a cube shaver make sure you use solid, clear cube ice or chunk ice.
