Default Irritating bad smell from kitchen disposal

Any ideas?

Before I replace the disposal, I want to be sure the problem is there
and not in the drain itself.




We found any meat type stuff goes down there, in no time smells like a
rendering plant, so....

Run hot water thru, then stop with the water and pour straight bleach in,
turn off/let rest 10 minutes, then continue flushing with hot water. Makes
the sink odor go away!

And, be fast on that rinse cycle, else you'll rust the "expletive deleted"
out of your chopper blades.
