cleaning

I have a wire brush attachment for my power drill, what is the best way to remove this rust? I have a smoker that I just seasoned, can I oil it up, stick it in there at 400-500, and then clean off the rust?

I just picked up a Hobart 1612. It looks great and even came with the sharpener. The index knob is frozen and the gauge plate won't move. I assume the gauge plate guide rods either were never lubricated or were lubricated with vegetable oil which has gummed up. To get that plate out I need to...

Somewhere there was a post where a guy had these squeaky clean racks in his smoker. They looked brand new in a well educated MES, and I asked if they were new, or how'd he get them so shiny clean? Well Saturday I was going to run my mats in the dishwasher to clean them. Since I was several...

I have a Charbroil smoker and was wondering if anyone has tried cleaning the glass with a magic eraser and how it worked out? Or what are some better ideas if anyone has any?
