HELP: Barista Burr Grinder Clogged(?)

Vin, if you try this use white rice. Brown rice still has the hull on it, and that hull contains fats that can go rancid. You dont want to compound your problem.

rice will clean the burrs, but I don't see how clean burrs would solve a clogged chute, assuming it's a clogged chute.

I would strip that grinder down to the point where I could see all the parts layed out on a towel, clean them, and reassemble.
