HELP W/ PAINTED COOK CHAMBER!

Hello. I recently purchased a Meadowcreek BX50.
Unfortunately, the previous owner had painted the smoke chamber. I heated the unit up and noticed that there was dripping paint after I had sprayed it with oil to season. So far I have: scraped, power washed, and even used an angle grinder with a wire brush attachment. I have noticed that when I heat it up the paint does start to come off a little easier but there are some areas that are very difficult to reach, namely the rack slides.
Anyone have any ideas, other than just heating up and continuing to scrape? Thanks in advance!

Heat gun?
Good idea!
Propane torch. Put the flame to the paint til it bubbles up, and scrape it off while still hot.
That'll work too.
