cast iron grates

[rp ribking]

What is the best way to get rust off of cast iron grates for a Char-Griller? I use my Char-Griller for smokin' abt's, moink balls and newly tried amarillo eggs.

Thanks RP

the best way is to sandblast iron but since most of us dont have access to a sand blaster i would have to say brillo pads and elbow grease follwed by a good scrubbing and seasoning w/ some cooking oil.

I used to use a small wire brush cup on my cordless drill on the cast iron grill on the colemal grill I use to have.  The one I have now I just use hot water and a brillo pad when I clean it.

Thanks for being so responsive Eman,

The only problem is that I'd rather use my elbow for something productive like drinking ice cold beer.

I dont drink beer but a nice jack on the rocks would be fine.  I do have access to a sand blaster lol.

RibKing - Check around with some local body shops or see if you can find a powder coating business near you....they'll sandblast them and you can save your elbows
